I assume just by running it...? When I do it reports nothing. =)
I'm not confident/experienced enough to make 'major' changes like updating named, because this server is very critical to our livelihood. I can't risk taking it offline. =(
on my server, named logs all its output to /var/log/messages
If you run 'grep named /var/log/messages', what does it come back with?
Any other thoughts as to why it just suddenly started doing this without any apparent reason, or anything I can do to fix it? Also, I can't manage to figure out how to find its distribution. It's not in /etc/issue, and wasn't installed as a package (ie. rpm doesn't list it)
try running rpm -q bind. What does it come back with? The dns server package under Redhat linux is called bind.
It must be some sort of configuration error because it still does it after a reboot (mind you, I haven't tried a cold boot) - but we made
If a warm reboot doesn't work, then a cold boot isn't going to do anything for you under linux unless it was specifically a hardware issue.
