See my thread on rsync and BIND if you'd like any background on this. Somehow, while setting up rsync and doing test transfers (probably while testing as user "named"), we managed to change the ownership of a bunch of files and directories, to user "named".
Including: / directory /etc/passwd /etc/group /bin/su and many more. Could this occur without a bug in the kernel? We're rebuilding the system (it was a third slave nameserver and nothing else so we can take some time to do it) because there were so many ownership changes I was worried about missing something important. We did manage to talk the client into using the slaving facility built into BIND. That's a good thing <smile>. Any ideas? Thanks. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
