Problem with named.conf

Hi to everyone!!!

I'm trying to run the DNS server in a production machine, but I'm having some unexpected problems that I don't find in the development environment.

The main of all is that I can't find the named.conf in /etc or any other location.

This made me think that I didn't have the bind installed, but when I go to the redhat network and I check the packages installed in the system, I have it.

If anyone can give me any idea of what is happening that would be great.

Thank you

Joaquin Corchero

Simple, because it's not in the distribution, if redhat try "rpm -ql bind" and you will see.

Do a search for named and rndc. Either by cd'ing to / and run 'find . -name named' or run 'updatedb' and then run 'locate named' and then 'locate rndc'

If you have named or rndc installed then you have BIND installed. You can also do the same for the named.conf file and see if it's just located in some weird location.

in order to have /etc/named.conf you must install the caching-nameserver package.

... ciao:

on "1-20-2004" "[email protected]" writ:

: in order to have /etc/named.conf you must install the caching-nameserver : package.

... that is, i think misleading.

by nature of the application, its installation in an overwhelming
majority, would be installed as a caching local server. that aside, 'named.conf' looks awfully "necessary", and not dependent on any 'particular' configuration.

among other things, i have 'named' installed and running under
'/www', and even at that, have an "/etc/named.conf". that seems a default location.

is it possible the system is running another bind. 'djbdns' comes
immediately to mind as a great alternative to 'named'. i would suggest something like "socklist | fgrep 53" and see what is calling that port
