Re: make-localhost not there (DNS/named setup on 7.0)
The handbook is slightly out of date and the 'make-localhost' script is now history. Instead, the system comes with pre-installed /etc/namedb/master/localhost-forward.db and .../localhost-reverse.db zone files and the appropriate configuration shown in the example named.conf file. Basically, ignore the paragraph in the handbook that says 'run make-localhost' and nowadays base your named.conf on the sample configuration supplied with the system rather than the examples shown in the handbook. Hi Matthew, Puh - good to hear - at least I now know that I'm not missing something from the base-install... Thanks for your quick help!

As per the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dns.html) I wanted to run make-localhost in order to set up the configuration files. But the script make-localhost isn't there: $ pwd /etc/namedb $ ls -l total 22 drwxr-xr-x 2 bind wheel512 Feb 24 10:39 dynamic drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel512 Mar 17 12:50 master -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 11259 Mar 17 16:01 named.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2963 Mar 17 16:01 named.root drwxr-xr-x 2 bind wheel512 Feb 24 10:39 slave $ Not in this directory, nor anywhere else: # find / -name make-localhost # First I thought I did something wrong so I set up another machine with the AMD64-version of 7.0, but alas - same result - again make-localhost isn't there. Has anybody else seen this behavior? Is the handbook wrong wrt setup of named on a AMD64-system?

Hi Matthew, Puh - good to hear - at least I now know that I'm not missing something from the base-install... FWIW, I've opened PR docs/122604 to track this, and I will try to update the Handbook soon-ish.
