Except of that it's actually written in lowercase, yes, that's it. The named configuration files are usually stored under /etc/namedb/ in FreeBSD, and the default configuration starts named with the argument ``-b /etc/namedb/named.boot''. Look into /etc/sysconfig on how to enable the name server. However, the ``missing files'' you are thinking of are your private named configuration files. You have to create them yourself, we cannot do this for you. I would recommend you O'Reilly ``DNS and BIND'' for a good tutorial into BIND and name service. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
