Well, your install script is not creating all the files it should as it
is obviously getting called. You might try building djbdns from source
and I think you'll have better luck (but it doesn't come with an init
script, so you might want to hang onto yours if you want to use it). Or
try someone else's djbdns RPMs. Just out of curiosity, where did you
get yours?

Here's a paragraph from the front page of djbdns.org:
---
Tinydns does authoritative nameserving via UDP only; it does not do
recursive nameserving, nor does it answer TCP queries (axfrdns does
that). The only hosts that should ask tinydns for a host are recursive
nameservers, such as those found in /etc/resolv.conf, like djbdns or
bind. Tinydns should never be listed in /etc/resolv.conf. Tinydns
interoperates properly with every authoritative and recursive nameserver
I know of, and supporting all the standards needed to do so.

Hrm, you've got me here. I don't know anything about dhcp-dns, but I
was simply commenting on your having the IP of the box on which you were
running tinydns listed in your /etc/resolv.conf. I'll have to take a
look at dhcp-dns though as I might be able to use that too. How do you
like it?

Ok, so you've registered your own domain and you're just wanting to run
your own services, right? I'm just not familiar enough with this part,
but you had to list two validated DNS servers when you registered that
domain, right (your ISPs DNS servers?)? How are you going to get your
machine who's assigned an IP dynamically to be authoritative for that
domain if it's not either of the ones listed in your whois info?

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it around.
Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble; that's
as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say meet it as a friend, for
you'll see a lot of it and you had better be on speaking terms with it.
