I get around it by not using BIND (named) Instead I use djbdns which does not have the security problems of BIND and has not required a second of my time since I installed it. djbdns is normally installed from source, but Mandrake have provided an RPM to automate the installation. See here for details http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/djbdns.php derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
