Hi Sean,

Also use a "category" configuration.  For example:

category default { default_info; };

category queries { log_requests; };

(If not, you may want to tell us what specifically you do and maybe 
don't want logged.)

Cannot get BIND logs to write to the correct file.

[Sean Son]

Hello all

I am trying to get BIND to write its logs to two files:

/var/log/named/named.log

and

/var/log/named/dnsreqs.log


No matter what I do , the logs are still being written to
/var/named/data/named.run

Here is the part of my named.conf which deals with logging:

logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
 channel default_info {
file "/var/log/named/named.log";
print-time yes;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
};
channel log_requests {
file "/var/log/named/dnsreqs.log";
print-time yes;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
};
  category lame-servers { null; };

};


The default_info and log_requests sections were copied from an older BIND
server that we are running. I am upgrading to a new version of Red Hat
Linux as well as a new version of BIND on a different server.

Any help is greatly appreciated! What am I doing wrong here?


Thanks!


Sincerely

BIND N00b
