Some help with BIND9 settings!

[Tasha Smith]

Hi...
Ok this is what i got soo far: I looked in /var/log/messages and got this:

Jan 31 02:00:36 bhr2113y53tl named[1003]: starting BIND 9.2.2rc1 -u named
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1003]: using 1 CPU
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1005]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1005]: no IPv6 interfaces found
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1005]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1005]: listening on IPv4 interface eth1, 192.168.0.1#53
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1005]: could not configure root hints from 'root.hints': file not found
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y53tl named[1005]: loading configuration: file not found
Jan 31 02:00:36 bhbr2113y54tl named[1005]: exiting (due to fatal error)

 

Soo im guessing my "root.hints" file is wrong. i tryed to loook on the tutorial for it but cant see where it is. 

 

I also can ping IP addys 216.239.57.101 not www.yahoo.com from my windows machines.

 

No I cannot  telnet to port 53 on the LAN interface.

 

 

 

Sorry for the last  reply tryed to stay up but had to go to sleep but i will be on all day.

while you're entitled to your opinion, we should deal with the problem at 
hand. they already have bind installed, it works fine for 90%+ of the 
internet, so let's get it working for them. thanks

I personally think 'dj' is an ass, but still try to help people using his 
software...
