Hi Matus, Performed following test. # nano /usr/local/bind/etc/named.conf changing; /etc/name.root to; /usr/local/bind/etc/name.conf # /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart # /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf -g 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.080 starting BIND 9.5.0 -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf -g 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.082 loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.083 listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.083 listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 192.168.0.203#53 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.084 could not configure root hints from '/usr/local/bind/etc/named.root': file not found 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.084 loading configuration: file not found 28-Oct-2008 13:35:24.084 exiting (due to fatal error) Still the same. Ah I found something new on re-editing named.conf restoring its original state /etc/named.root Before I followed that howto leaving a white space between " and /etc/name.root" On changing /usr/local/bind/etc/name.root back to /etc/name.root I cleared the white space. # /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf -g 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.744 starting BIND 9.5.0 -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf -g 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.746 loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.746 listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.747 listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 192.168.0.203#53 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.749 default max-cache-size (33554432) applies 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.750 automatic empty zone: 0.IN-ADDR.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.750 automatic empty zone: 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.750 automatic empty zone: 254.169.IN-ADDR.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.750 automatic empty zone: 2.0.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.750 automatic empty zone: 255.255.255.255.IN-ADDR.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.750 automatic empty zone: 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.751 automatic empty zone: 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.751 automatic empty zone: D.F.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.751 automatic empty zone: 8.E.F.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.751 automatic empty zone: 9.E.F.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.751 automatic empty zone: A.E.F.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.751 automatic empty zone: B.E.F.IP6.ARPA 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.752 default max-cache-size (33554432) applies: view _bind 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.753 none:0: open: /usr/local/bind/etc/rndc.key: file not found 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.753 couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file not found 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.753 none:0: open: /usr/local/bind/etc/rndc.key: file not found 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.753 couldn't add command channel ::1#953: file not found 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.753 ignoring config file logging statement due to -g option 28-Oct-2008 13:41:30.755 running Here it seems waiting for input???
