Hello, I'm about to set up named under FreeBSD 5.4. I have read all the documentation, O'Reily book and various sites telling me how to go about things. But I fear that just reading about it and doing it are completely different things. What I would like to do is write a list of things that I need to do in order to have my setup up and running. I would appreciate if you give it a look and point out any mistakes that I might have made. Thank you. Here it goes: 1. In the /etc/rc.conf put the name of my domain as hostname, right ? hostname="kilimdomain.com" 2. Then add named_enable="yes" also to the /etc/rc.conf ? 3. I'd like to run named in the chrooted directory and handbook's 24.6.8 section has a write up about it. Yet in /etc/defaults/ there is a knob: named_chroot_autoupdate="YES". Does this imply that even if I don't follow the steps in 24.6.8 but just the steps preceding it, in the 24.6.6 up to 24.6.8, will make the named chrooted ? I'd like to get the answer to these questions (well question no. 3. really) before I proceed to write further as the rest of the write up depends on them. Thank you again !
