Maybe if you do something like paste the line and pipe it through "cat -v" you can see what special characters are being embedded by SecureCRT.
This by the way is why we tell our DBAs that use something other than PuTTY that we won't help them unless it fails in PuTTY also. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Todd Snyder Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 12:38 PM To: bind-us...@isc.org Subject: RE: Error: isc_lex_gettoken() failed: I/O error [replying to myself is bad form, I know] The command we are running is: r...@dnsbox:/var/named/var/named# named-checkzone -w /var/named test.domain var/named/master/test.domain So we did some more testing - if I type the command in, it works. If I paste it into SecureCRT it fails. If I paste it in to PuTTY it works (except putty translates the - into a . for some reason) I can't imagine what SecureCRT is doing that would cause named-checkzone to burst a blood vessel ... I'm guessing some special character is being pasted by SecureCRT, but BIND isn't playing nice with it. At any rate, now you know. SecureCRT (tty = vt100) and bind don't play nice.

We're thinking maybe it's terminal related - a user has had success using an xterm, but me and others are using SecureCRT and have problems. Can anyone say what this error actually means? We're a little stumped at what's going on. Thanks!
