BIND Help

Hi! I have installed Redhat 9 and Bind 9.2 rpm package. Package installation went well and 100% completion message received, but couldn't find named.conf file at all in the entire system. Can anyone help please.

After installation, on executing command "rpm -qa | grep -i bind" i could get

bind-utils-9.2.1.-16
ypbind-1.11-4
bind-9.2.1-16
redhat-config-bind-1.9.0-13

Please help me out to get this done.

You should find this in /etc/bind

Hi TigerOC,

Infact i tried with find -name name* to locate files in the entire system. Nowhere i could find named.conf file. Whereas on giving the command "rpm -qa | grep -i bind" i could get the result as

bind-utils-9.2.1-16
ypbind-1.11-4
bind-9.21-16
redhat-config-bind-1.9.0-13

thanks and waiting for your further advice.

you will find a sample named.conf in the bind docs

You may have to use the sample file and save it to /etc (where RH looks). You might find this guide useful.

You must create it yourself, e.g. with the graphical tool.

Hi Misc,

Using bind-util have created the file and edited for my network setup. Many thanks.

Hi TigerOC, sgrayban,

Using the bind-utils created zonefile which lead to generate named.conf file also. Editted to my requirement and service started. Many thanks to you both and thanks for the reference documentations.

Regards,
