hi there!
i'm having a small problem...named is running in 127.0.0.1 (loopback), but i want it to run in my machine server (192.168.100.22).
how can i change that?

thx

Hi,

Either comment out the "listen-on ..." line in named.conf or use:

Code:

listen-on {any;};

hi there.

humm....my /etc/named/named.conf has this:

Code:

options {
   directory "/var/named";
   dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
   statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
};

controls {
 inet 127.0.0.1  allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

zone "localhost" IN {
   type master;
   file "localhost.zone";
   allow-update { none; };
};


include "/etc/rndc.key";

where, in here, i should put the code you suggested?
just one more question: this named.conf should be in the /var/named/chroot/var/named right?

thank u

Add listen-on in options section

Code:

options {
   directory "/var/named";
   dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
   statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
   listen-on port 53 { 192.168.100.22; };
};

controls {
 inet 127.0.0.1  allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

zone "localhost" IN {
   type master;
   file "localhost.zone";
   allow-update { none; };
};


include "/etc/rndc.key";

named.conf file location is

Code:

/var/named/chroot/etc/
