Hi Geeks,
i am not able to find named.conf or /var/named in my fedora 14 linux box.

i want to use internal named process.please suggest a way for this.

Thanks and regards

make sure you have the
bind
package installed that contains all the NS stuff

[rajes4india]

having bind.but there is no named.is there any alternate way for this.

[Irithori]

rpm -qa|grep bind
updatedb && locate named.conf

It really sounds like the "bind" package is *not* installed. The /var/named/ dir and /etc/named.conf file are both created by the installation of the bind package.

What does this command tell you?

rpm -qV bind

You may need to reinstall it:

rpm -e --justdb --nodeps bind
yum install bind

[Lazydog]

named.conf should be linked in /etc directory.

ls -al /etc/named*

Do you have chroot bind installed by chance?
In that case it would be in /var/named/chroot/etc.
