Hi,

Sorry not to give my feedback related with your suggestions sooner, but =
I
was absent.
I have looked to the named messages after boot and apparently it was
everything ok i.e.:

First message:	"starting (etc/namedb/named.conf). named 8.3.6-REL =
....."
Second message: 	"limit files set to fdlimit (1024)"
Third message: 	"Ready to answer queries."

There is no messages related with the ROOT SERVERS, the file was =
updated and
there is a permanent network connection.

Running the "ndc status" the output is: "server is initialising itself"

After restarting the server manually, after boot, the status is: =
"server is
up and running".

The result after comment the kern_securelevel=3D"2" and
kern_securelevel_enable=3D"YES" lines in the rc.conf and reboot was the =
same
as described above.

Do you have any more suggestions to debug and solve this problem?

Thanks
Nuno

Hmm.  There isn't enough information available to say what's going on=20
for certain, but what you are doing ought to work fine.

Do you have a permanent network connection which is available when your =

system boots?  If the network isn't available, named can't talk to=20
other nameservers and it will probably cause a very long delay which=20
matches your description.

Check /var/log/messages after a system reboot for messages relating to=20
named.  You ought to see something like this:

May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.notice> pi named[9319]: starting=20
(/etc/named.conf).  nam
ed 8.3.7-REL Tue Dec  2 14:40:53 EST 2003      =20
root@ns1.pkix.net:/usr/obj/usr/s
rc/usr.sbin/named
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.warn> pi named[9319]: limit files set to=20
fdlimit (1024)
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.notice> pi named[9320]: Ready to answer =
queries.
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.warn> pi named[9320]: check_hints: A records=20
for B.ROOT-
SERVERS.NET class 1 do not match hint records

If there were problems with your named.conf file or one of the zone=20
files, you'd see warning messages which ought to be fixed.
