You didn't try to touch the named.msgs file or anything did ya?

Also, I want to see the results for the following commands.

service named stop
named -u named -t /var/named/chroot -g
service named start

The second command starts BIND in the foreground and dumps diagnostics to screen, so you will need to press Control+C when it says "running" within the messages.

I didn't touch the named.msgs file.

I ran the commands you requested. No results. Nothing to console. Nothing in the messages file, not even the errors I was getting before. I left it up all night just to be sure.

[SilentRage]

I just ran that exact command on my system through ssh and it spewed a ton of information to screen. You are using ssh or physical access to run these commands right? If so, then something else must be screwed up. Maybe BIND needs to be reinstalled, maybe redhat needs to be reinstalled. I don't know, but these handicaps are preventing me from helping you.

[thehl]

I was thinking about re-installing BIND. Perhaps something got corrupted in download/install. At any rate, I won't go back to the CD, I will find one on the net.

Thanks for all yoiur help. We'll call this topic closed for now and I'lll open a new one if problem persists.

Thanks again! :P
