If your named.conf file is in the usual place, /etc/namedb/named.conf,
then it's going to be inaccessible to named once it's performed the
chroot(2) to /etc/named/s
You need to replicate all of the file structure of /etc/namedb to your
chroot directory. Try this:
mkdir /var/named
cd /
tar -cf - etc/namedb | (cd /var/named ; tar -xvpf - )
Now when you start up named, use the command line:
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -g bind -t /var/named
named should then be happily reading the file
/var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf thinking that it's actually /etc/named.conf
Cheers,
Matthew
