What on earth gives you the idea that dns/bind98 doesn't conform to hier(7)? The bind ports are all installing stuff correctly: the only files that get installed in an 'isc' or 'isccc' sub-directory are c-language header files. That's perfectly legal according to the rules. No problem there. I suggest turning off the REPLACE_BASE option in the port. You really don't need it -- install as normal under /usr/local (which I guess should fix the writablity problems). Then all you need to enable the ports version of named is to put the following in /etc/rc.conf: named_enable="YES" named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named" That's it. You can now start up the ports version of named by: /etc/rc.d/named start The bind port creates symlinks for named.conf, rndc.conf and rndc.key in /usr/local/etc so you can control the ports version of bind in the usual way using rndc(8). (Well, assuming you've set up /etc/namedb/named.conf properly.) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey
