Hi,

I have Bind configured on CentOS 5.6

I searched for the named.conf, thinking it would be in /etc .  

Instead I find it at /etc/dbus-1/system.d/named.conf - I assume this is an example file?

Also from reading the docs I suspect my config is setup is bind-chroot because I am finding the directory /var/named/chroot/etc/  ?

I assume I should be configuring named.conf in the /var/named/chroot/etc/ directory?

I also found this configuration:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root named      52 Apr 27 18:28 named.caching-nameserver.conf -> /var/named/chroot//etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root named      42 Apr 27 18:28 named.rfc1912.zones -> /var/named/chroot//etc/named.rfc1912.zones

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root named      31 Apr 21 09:47 rndc.key -> /var/named/chroot//etc/rndc.key

I have cashing name server already configure /etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf.  I have not opened port 53 so I assume it is not working yet.

I'm sure I'll have 1000 questions this afternoon and tonight. 

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks for your help!
