[root@myserver src]# rpm -Uvh bind-9.2.3-4mdk.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
bind conflicts with tmdns-0.1-12mdk
[root@myserver src]#

I have text base installtion in this machine. (dont like to install GNU )
PLZZZ HELP ME SOON.

Thanks in advance.

Hi netguy2000,
tmdns means "tiny/trivial multicast dns". It is used for dns with "zeroconf" installation. You must remove this package to install bind.

thanks for your help, please can you help me in configuring bind??? and also let me know do I uninstall tmdns rpm only or anyother too.???

Thanks in advance.
Rizwan.

Hi Rizwan,
I did some reading through google and the answer I found is to just remove tmdns. If, during removal, rpm complains about any other package, let me know for we decide what to do. About bind, I was never successful in configure it. Its configuration files are a little complex and hard to change. If you are a guy like me who has a single machine or a home network connected to internet via dial up or adsl, I recommend you to install dnsmasq, which is very easy to configure and dynamically recognizes when you are connected or off line. If you have any more doubts, please, tell me about your configuration.
