Okay, good point. > I usually put named configuration files in /etc/named > on other platforms, just like mail related bits go in > /etc/mail. So using /var/named/ is just some odd solaris tradition? You probably knew this, but /var/ is usually reserved for things that are changed a lot by the system, rather than configuration files: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE31 Thanks. By the way, you can even get your forwarding file out of /etc/ by using this formula from Sun's man page for named: The following sequence of commands lists the current named configuration file and sets an alternative file. # svcprop -p options/configuration_file dns/server:default /etc/named.conf # svccfg -s dns/server:default setprop \ > options/configuration_file=/var/named/named.conf # svcadm refresh dns/server:default # svcprop -p options/configuration_file dns/server:default /var/named/named.conf There's other good material in there too. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
