But then I have not >plowed through DNSSEC documention in depth yet. If you installed bind*-chroot, it will populate the /var/named/chroot hierarchy. It's not strictly required (though I would suggest it), but if you intend to run BIND chrooted "/var/named/chroot" is essentially "/". You'll have to place the usual things BIND needs to operate under that directory -- configs, zones, etc. Assuming this came from the chroot RPM, you'll already have other essential pieces for chroot such as your null/random/zero devices. Since you mention CentOS, you'll likely also want to pay attention to things like ROOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/named. Having said all that, you might search the archives (SRPMS have been provided by community members) or other sources for a newer BIND while you're at it...9.8.2 isn't ancient, but also not technically "up to date" now. I am personally waiting for 9.9.3 to leave beta, but 9.8.4-P1 probably makes sense for you today. This won't affect your chroot setup, just something worth considering since you're upgrading. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
