Are you running named in a chrooted environment? all that meens is you are simply changeing the root directory of named from / to another directory. Probably /var/chroot . Of course without the flags we aren't sure if you passed this flag or not. If you did, you need to make sure to create the proper directories and binaroes under that directory so named functions properly. > /etc/rc.conf > /etc/namedb/named.conf > /var/chroot/etc/namedb/named.conf > > My guess is that /etc/namedb/named.conf is being ignored because of the named_flags line in rc.conf.
