The result is that the boot process takes a very long time in the "Starting
Standard Daemons" [ph]ase. After boot the result of "ndc status" is: (server is

Starting de named manually works just fine.

Hmm. There isn't enough information available to say what's going on for certain, but what you are doing ought to work fine.


Do you have a permanent network connection which is available when your system boots? If the network isn't available, named can't talk to other nameservers and it will probably cause a very long delay which matches your description.

Check /var/log/messages after a system reboot for messages relating to named. You ought to see something like this:

May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.notice> pi named[9319]: starting (/etc/named.conf). nam
ed 8.3.7-REL Tue Dec 2 14:40:53 EST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/s
rc/usr.sbin/named
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.warn> pi named[9319]: limit files set to fdlimit (1024)
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.notice> pi named[9320]: Ready to answer queries.
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.warn> pi named[9320]: check_hints: A records for B.ROOT-
SERVERS.NET class 1 do not match hint records


If there were problems with your named.conf file or one of the zone files, you'd see warning messages which ought to be fixed.
