Hello,

I reinstalled Gentoo linux and when I goto try and install "dnscache"
following the directions I seem to get some strange effects.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] jbanks # dnscache-conf dnscache dnslog /etc/dnscache
192.168.1.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jbanks # ln -s /etc/dnscache /service
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jbanks # sleep 5
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jbanks # svstat /service/dnscache
/service/dnscache: unable to chdir: file does not exist
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jbanks # cd /service
[EMAIL PROTECTED] service # dir
env  log  root  run  seed

I can't figure out _why_ , the "ln -s /etc/dnschace /service" command
isn't creating a copy of dnscache in the service directory.

Can anyone please point my in the right direction as far as what I need
to trouble shoot to get dnscache working or what other things that you
would need to see to help diagnose this issue further.

I noticed that "svscan" isn't running either. Can any of the Gentoo
user  users please let me know how I go about starting "svscan" and if
your running "svscan" with "rc-update at the default run-level" or at
"boot level"

I was successfully running it at the "default run-level" on my last
install and it worked fine. Never got any confirmation as to what was
the correct way of handling "svscan"

Here is some other info that I hope is helpful:

Gentoo "djbdns build version"
net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r8
Running Gentoo 2.4.20-gentoo-r7


[EMAIL PROTECTED] service # ps aux | grep svscan
root      4735  0.0  0.1  1440  448 pts/0    S    05:24   0:00 grep
svscan
[EMAIL PROTECTED] service # ps aux | grep supervise
root      4738  0.0  0.1  1444  452 pts/0    S    05:25   0:00 grep
supervise


[EMAIL PROTECTED] service # which svscan
/usr/bin/svscan

svscan can also be started and stopped via "/etc/init.d/svscan
[start,stop]

I tried starting and stopping it but that doesn't seem to help. 

Thanks for any help.

Joshua Banks
