Re: Disabling DNS
I overlooked something significant after disabling our old DNS server. I neglected to update the /etc/resolv.conf file to specify the IP address of a valid nameserver. --- At 11:53 AM 4/20/2010, pe...@vfemail.net wrote: >Super!

I got that sense after reading Alberto's reply, before both Bill's explanation & your indignation.

A person needs to be encouraged to read the documentation but should not be called a dummy.I suppose you might have had a different intent for the use of that word which is why I mentioned the possibility of having a language problem.But, it appeared in the text that you were calling the person stupid and that is inappropriate for postings to this list.

Disabling DNS
I have a FreeBSD server that, among other things, used to provide DNS for a handful of domain names and a small network. All DNS is now provided by new machines. On the old machine, DNS starts when the machine boots, and bind continues to run lots of useless named and named-xfer processes throughout the day. How do I turn off the DNS processes on the old machine and stop it from starting every time the machine boots? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
