cant get bind/named to work! please help!


I am running slack 10 with 2.6.9 kernel. I am following this guide to get bind running for a caching dns server. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-3.html

i created all the files like it says, changing a lot since slack10 has it's stuff in /var/named/caching-example and I created the stuff as the tutorial says, verbatim. It doesn't seem like my box is listening on port 53. I made /etc/rc.d/rc.bind executable and it says it's starting it. here's what my log says:

Quote:
Feb 25 18:13:51 gsgleason named[2830]: starting BIND 9.2.3
Feb 25 18:13:51 gsgleason named[2830]: using 1 CPU
Feb 25 18:13:51 gsgleason named[2830]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
Feb 25 18:13:51 gsgleason named[2830]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53
Feb 25 18:13:51 gsgleason named[2830]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 10.10.10.6#53
however,

Quote:
root@gsgleason:/var/log# telnet localhost 53
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
this tells me that it's not listening on port 53. also, as the tutorial says to test:

Quote:
root@gsgleason:/var/log# dig -x 127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> -x 127.0.0.1
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
also, my /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 just had this:

Quote:
# Start the BIND name server daemon:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bind ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.bind start
fi
and I added this per some slack doc I found. which is correct, and which should I have?

Quote:
# Start the NAMED/BIND name server:
if [ -f ${NET}/named ]; then
echo -n " named"
${NET}/named -u daemon -g daemon
fi
HELP!!!

here are my runnng processes, supposedly after bind is running. I'm not seeing bind here...
