That error is fairly explicit. Either you have a stale PID file, /var/run/named, which should be deleted. Or you have a stale PID file with permissions that prevent named from deleting & recreating it. Either way, delete the PID file, and try again. And please, fix your wordwrap to something under 80 char/line. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
