RE: DNS problem

Check the startup script because the bind daemon is started wit certain
options that seem to have something wrong. Ususally bind is specified with
user/group   named/named. The startup scripts are run with root priviledges
so it is highly likely that this is the cause of the inability to write in
/var/run.
Also your config file is missing an include line that includes a key for the
rndc control channel.
Also check for the existence of rndc.conf in the /etc directory. The daemon
has not found any say ethernet interface, so it is listening only in the
loopback that is always available.
So get a ready made named.conf file and modify only the zone parts. Do not
modify the rest. For more details read the bind 9 manual at www.isc.org.

Mr. Olsi Lulani

configure a DNS server using BIND 9.1.* also I have installed bind-utils and
caching-nameserver.
