Hi
I am sorry this mail is a bit long
I am trying to setup a caching name server and I have followed
instructons in DNS-HOWTO. However when i start the named using
ndc start I get the following error message
ndc error could not start nameserver(/usr/sbin/named)
Permissions for /usr/sbin/named is -rwxr-xr-x
my named.conf in /etc is as follows
options {
directory "/var/named";
// Uncommenting this might help if you have to go through a
// firewall and things are not working out:
// query-source port 53;
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "root.hints";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "pz/127.0.0";
};
my /var/named/pz/127.0.0 file is a given below
@ IN SOA ns.linux.bogus.
hostmaster.linux.bogus. (
1 ; Serial
8H ; Refresh
2H ; Retry
1W ; Expire
1D) ; Minimum TTL
NS ns.linux.bogus.
1 PTR localhost.
I have copied named.ca( distributed on RHL 6) as root.hints
Other settings are( nsswitch.conf, hosts.conf, resolve.conf )
as given in DNS-HOWTO
Do I have to set up any other file
Can anybody help
Sunil
