named help please

2000-06-24 Thread Bill
I am continually getting the following message,

named[479]: XSTATS 961857757 961854157 RR=561 RNXD=68
RFwdR=397 RDupR=12
RFail=23 RFErr=0 RErr=0 RAXFR=0 RLame=7 ROpts=0 SSysQ=108

RTCP=24 SFwdR=397
SFail=0 SFErr=0 SNaAns=837 SNXD=194

Is this something to worry about, if so can someone please
tell me how to remedy?

Thanks in advance

It's a statistical report generated when named flushes it's cache.

No, unless the *Err numbers concern you.

 if so can someone please
 tell me how to remedy?

Run:
apt-get install bind-doc

You could do some service delivery analysis with the numbers.

Bill,

 I am continually getting the following message,

 Is this something to worry about, if so can someone please tell
 me how to remedy?

This is completely normal behaviour and is not normally anything
to be concerned about.  If you really want to disable this, place
the following in the options section of your named.conf.

options {
...
statistics-interval 0;
...
};

Here is the section about statistics-interval from the
documentation.

Nameserver statistics will be logged every statistics-interval
minutes. The default is 60. If set to 0, no statistics will be logged.

http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/config/options.html

Here is an example of the same output fro a slightly more active
nameserver.

you don't want to remedy. this rather cryptic line in your syslog is
actually giving you the query statistics for your name server.
