One last question on configuring Named to run:

I'm able to start BIND from the command line with:

/usr/sbin/named -c /etc/named.conf

but when I modify my rc.conf file with:

named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/sbin/named"
named_flags="-u bind -c /etc/named.conf"

I get an error on startup:

Feb 11 14:47:53 ns2 named[275]: none:0 open: /etc/named.conf: file not found
Feb 11 14:47:53 ns2 named[275]: loading configruation: file not found
Feb 11 14:47:53 ns2 named[275]: exiting (due to fatal error)

what's wrong with my config-file path parameter in rc.conf?

Thanks!
