I'm in a ... Bind...

:rolleyes:

I am going to install DNS for the first time, and I have been advised to do the following:

yum install bind-chroot
chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 755 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot
chkconfig --levels 235 named on
/etc/init.d/named start

So that Bind will run in a chroot jail under /var/named/chroot/var/named/.

Is this 'good' advice? Is there a good reference for a 'first-time' installer?

I am installing this to:
1. Learn more about linux; and
2. Set up a scalix open community edition platform.

Thanks,

C
