WOW!..this is odd,..i installed BIND 8.2.3 from scratch, running make make clean make depend mak all and before doing 'make install' I deleted the .settings file in the src dir and edited the /src/port/linux Makefile.set to alter the DESTINATION dir to /usr/local/bind823 and its child dir DESTSBIN=/usr/local/bind823/sbin DESTBIN/usr/local/bind823/bin etc,..etc..... afer this,...I placed the startup script call named in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ then I ran chkconfig --add named chkconfig --level 345 named on all went fine at this point,...but here is where it gets wierd, after starting the named daemon by running /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start which went fine and started ok.....but what was strange was it created a log file in /root called 'foo' i used jove to open it,.and yep, it was a log file for the named daemon,..so I went ahead and deleted it, but every time i start up the named daemon using /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start it re-created it but when i just start named with the path like /usr/local/bind823/sbin/named -u named it doesn't create this 'foo' named log WHATS going on here??...any thoughts??,..I'm truly baffled thanks ____________________________________________ An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds.
