...why still ask redundant question?
isn't this a rather strange way of communicating for someone who
is
looking for help ;-) ??
Indeed. :-) Having spent a lot of time over the years trying to
help people with tech stuff, i'm going to soapbox for a bit:
Part of the issue can be that, at the point someone is asking for
help on a public forum, they might well have spent quite some time
working on the problem, and so are quite frustrated. However, they
might not be aware that it's very common for people to spend
little time trying to solve the problem on their own (e.g. by
*gasp* reading the man pages or other documentation) before
resorting to public forums, which many of us can find frustrating
ourselves (particularly those of us who spend quite a bit of time
working on documentation).
On top of all this, many people asking for help don't understand
that those who are trying to help are often trying to methodically
rule out certain possible causes of the problem, and to reduce the
number of 'moving parts' that need to be taken into consideration.
OP (and others), please note the above, and also take time to read
e.g. https://idownvotedbecau.se/, which lists a number of common
issues with how people ask for tech help. Help us help you. And be
sure to check your configs for typos (e.g. via the `-n` flag on
programs like smtpd(8)):
< nutbar> [root@linux!/usr/src/bind] grep "{" named.conf.newer |
wc -l
< nutbar> 19314
< nutbar> [root@linux!/usr/src/bind] grep "}" named.conf.newer |
wc -l
< nutbar> 19313
