Hi, I run on a SL54 system named (DNS server). Whenever named is updated the user named looses the write permissions to /var/named/chroot/var/named and /var/log/messages is full of:
named[2556]: dumping master file: tmp-vAF8TPzuhu: open: permission denied error messages. The DNS server on my SL54 system is the primary DNS server. I have a few slave DNS servers set up. Yesterday, suddenly, although I have not installed any named update the owner of /var/named/chroot/var/named changed to root. I don't know which task has done this. I have changed it to named again and all is well now. But, general, does anybody know how I should set up named to prevent this ? A pointer to more details and a permanent solution? When I search with Google I find thousands of hits. This surely is obviou sly a problem which does not plague me alone. Regards, Ernst
