Yes, that is the default under OI. I thought at first that it was broken, but with further reading I discovered that it was not broken. > If you check out with GIT : git clone oi-userland > and you check the Makefile of the components/network/bind > > There is a directory > > oi-userland/components/network/bind/Solaris > > For the server.xml there is a comment > > <!-- > user: Run bind as the specified users, using the -u > command line option. > --> > <propval name='user' type='astring' value='named' /> Yes, that is the SMF manifest. > Perhaps you can add as a comment there what you have discovered ?

Who would look there? A document on the web site or a change to a man page would be more appropriate. As it stands now, there is not even a word about SMF in the bind man pages. People won't even run bind on OI if they can't even tell how to start it. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
