IF the system is a DNS master, manually backup your /etc/named.conf and any zone file(s). You might also consider the same for dhcpd and your leases file if it is a dhcp server too. I've noticed I have to go grab AA greeting files from time to time and sometimes you actually have to pick a different greeting file/apply, then go back choosing the original and apply again to get the system to pick it up. One the other hand, leave the beast from h____ alone. If he's happy, don't screw with him. Ha! Tony
