named not starting during boot

Hi there,

named is not starting when I reboot a FreeBSD 6.2 server and
I cant 
figure out why.
there are no error mesasges in /var/log/messages during the
boot process.

even when I manually start there are no error messages.

Have you tried with "-fg" ?  There are a lot of
really quick restarts in 
that log snippet around "5:20" ....

Not really, most of the time I think I'm completely clueless

why you are installing bind from ports - there is bind9 in
base system. 
and it's controlled with named_enable.


have you configured right version in right (/etc/namedb)
directory?

In the newer versions of bind you need to add to
/etc/rc.conf:
named_uid="username"
you want to run named as.

because there are security exploits and keeping upto date
version is 
important to me.

I actually rolled my own version of Bind (9.4.0) and have it
working 
perfectly and starting under rc.conf

(I had to edit /etc/rc.d/named though)

Hi there,

I dont have a user name named.  I have a user named bind. 
so bind is 
what I am going with.

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


cheers,

Noah

I was using "username" as an example.  You can use
bind, root, or any valid 
user.  That user should own the directory you plan to use
for the chroot, 
or the namedb starting point.

Most likely you have a chroot problem, you need to be sure
you have that 
file tree setup correctly.
