Red Hat 9 ships no configuration for bind 9 so that you can set it up either chrooted or not as you see fit. See /etc/sysconfig/named for specifying a root directory for bind. So, as you can put it wherever you like, it means that having an /etc/named.conf probably won't suit the needs of the chrooter, hence the extra package with the necessary configuration files. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
