I did not actually change anything with=20 respect to locations and such, but some of the permissions in /var/named/etc/namedb I had changed and=20= could not find document- ation to tell me specifically what they are supposed to be. And I was=20 not able to deduce it. As it turned out, I had a line at the end of named.conf that tried to include=20= rndc.key file. I removed that and named started and runs. Now my problem is getting more info on=20 rndc. I am somewhat confused about it. But I will get on top of that too, i expect. ecrit...that's French for writes or has written... it's been over 40=20 years since I took French in high school.
