Well... there's a few things. 1) you should put in a script to start/stop named (I've discovered that SuSE's script doesn't REALLY stop named but that's another story), and this script should be executed at the various run levels. 2) most distros have a sample /etc/named.conf -- don't you? 3) Other than that, it's a matter of adding to /etc/named.conf and adding a new file in /var/named (those are for my distro, they may vary in yours) -- _Deirdre * http://disclaimer.deirdre.org * http://www.deirdre.net "The program installed quickly...then, of course, a reboot was required.
