I created a testuser and testgrp along with a directory /tmp/named to try out the options. I used the command line named -u testuser -g testgrp -t /tmp/named. When I start named this way, I get an error message that named cannot find named.conf. The only way I was able to get the program to operate correctly was to create /tmp/named/etc/namedb directory and then move named.conf from the normal etc directory. Is this the correct behavior? Or did I make a typical newbie mistake? :-) *==============================================* *Gene Harris http://www.tetronsoftware.com* *FreeBSD Novice * *==============================================* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
