I was not trying to blame you in person for anything which might have been wrong in rc.d/named or not. If you've read that out of my mail it must have been my english knowledge which might be insufficient. My intention was just to bring up a point which may also disencourage other people. I was just wondering why the chroot option of named-checkconf was not used with the specified chroot-dir. Then named-checkconf would have picked up the specified configuration file. This was all what I was trying to mention in the first place... But It looks like this was the wrong "solution" to my problem.

I will, but please also consider that a foreigner must not have the same english skills you have and that it is easy to get the tone wrong unintentionally.

But I'm using this configuration/setup since 03/2003 without problems and just adjusted it from time to time to meet the new requirements (bind 8->9 switch and so on) I'm using "named" instead of "namedb" because the whole directory is kept in a local cvs and I just wanted it "out" of the FreeBSD related files to make sure there is no interference at all.
