- The full file is 600kb+ dated from Aug 22. - The last few rolled logs (from whenever to Aug 22) are about 16k in size! Those are just the last few lines (obviously!) Does this help? Bind version: bind-9.2.0-8 If it can be fixed without re-installing / upgrading bind or named, then fantastic! =) I sense progress ;) I also looked at the zone files as per Plameras advice. NONE of them seemed to have Tabs.? And from memory, this was always the case. I changed a couple of the more important ones to have tabs anyway... I'll give an update tomorrow, in the meantime, if someone sees something else, or finds something in the log extract above, feel free to post it ;) Ta.
