I think the permissions stuff is unrelated to the port - it only installs these files into /opt/local/var/named: % port contents bind9 | grep /opt/local/var/named /opt/local/var/named/db.127.0.0.dist /opt/local/var/named/db.cache.dist /opt/local/var/named/db.localhost.dist You can try to start named by hand with `-g` (and maybe add a -d # option) to try to get more information on why it's not starting for you. -- Daniel J.
