My named doesn't bind to my private IP and only binds to localhost.
starting BIND 9.3.2-P1 command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 command channel listening on ::1#953 I already have the listen-on option in /var/named/etc/named.conf file pointed to my private IP. options { listen-on { 192.168.25.5; }; allow-recursion { clients; }; }; If I do a "named -c /var/named/etc/named.conf" it gives error - none:0: open: /var/named/etc/named.conf: file not found loading configuration: file not found But the file is there and all files under /var/named are root:named. My "/var/named/etc/named.conf" symlinks to /etc/named.conf. And if I start bind typing "named" it starts on 127.0.0.1 by reading /etc/named.conf by default. Also, if I do "named -c /etc/named.conf -g" it actually listens on my private IP along with localhost. Netstat output - 192.168.25.5.domain *.* Any help would be appreciated.
