Hi there,

I am having troubles with named not starting on boot nor am I am able to
start it manually. I thought I have my chrootdir set correctly.

here are my settings in my rc.conf

----s nip ----

named_enable="YES"
named_uid="bind"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
named_chrootdir="/var/named"

---- snip---


here are the /var/log/messages error:


Feb 27 09:07:46 access2 named[2058]: /etc/named.conf:6: change directory
to '/var/named/etc/namedb' failed: file not found
Feb 27 09:07:46 access2 named[2058]: /etc/named.conf:6: parsing failed
Feb 27 09:07:46 access2 named[2058]: loading configuration: file not found
Feb 27 09:07:46 access2 named[2058]: exiting (due to fatal error)


What are your permissions on /var/named ? how about
/var/named/etc/namedb ? by default i think the chroot stuff expects or
wants /etc/namedb to be a symlink to /var/named/etc/namedb, is this the
case ?

What is line 6 of your /etc/named.conf and why is named looking for this
rather than /etc/namedb/named.conf as specified.

I have the portsversion of 9.3 with DLZ on my laptop as a testbed and it
works fine with
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
named_chrootdir="/var/named"
named_enable="YES"

So my guess is permissions or configuration file issue

acutally karol's post helped a great deal:

Here is a mistake. Is a 'directory' in /etc/namedb/named.conf set to
'/var/named/etc/namedb'?

"/var/named/etc/namedb" is a global path, named starting in chroot won't
be able to see it. Just change it back to "/etc/namedb".

HTH,


Karol
