Named doesn't start : "root:4: no current owner name"

tigernux · 12-19-2006, 03:20 PM

I'm using Linux Mandrake and configure it to be a router and dns cache. Iptables is ok! But after the configuration of bind9 was done, I can't start it! The logs are these:

- root:4: no current owner name
- could not configure root hints from 'root': no owner
- loading configuration: no owner
- exiting (due to fatal error)
- Démarrage de named failed

I verified the configuration files and they seem to be correct.

Thanks to help me if you have any idea!

Thank you gani, at this url i've found the solution!
The only things i had to do was to install the package caching-nameserver to make named ok!
