Alan, Tony, Rod, I know I tested the daemon allowing it to create the jnl file, but I have removed it and much to my surprise the zone loaded.
I removed the trailing dot, syntax now matches my other zones, though the example I'd followed had stated it was necessary (I had not understood why) I have removed it. The zone now loads, however when I use nsupdate (I thought a reasonable test prior to complicating things with DHCP), I still get the SERVFAIL error and the named log shows Error: db.dynamic.jnl: create: permission denied Protections for the /etc/dns-root (vs my /etc/dns-source directory, where I make and attempt to verify changes on my production system, dns-source/ unused on this newly installed test server) included in prior email. The protection mask on /etc/dns-root is (skipping time stamp, etc) drwxrwxr-x. named named /etc/dns-root Just to make sure # getfacl /etc/dns-root (pardon capitalization, I have a _very_ helpful mail interface...) #file: /etc/dns-root # owner: named # group: named User:: rwx Group::rwx Other:r-x And for good measure # lsattr -d /etc/dns-root -------------- /etc/dns-root The problem has been moved down stream but not resolved. Will talk with my manager about the query-source address issue, don't recall if he'd mandated this, or it's a holdover from an earlier config. It is not a setting in the example config that installed with the package.
