Hello,

I have configured /etc/named.conf and the zone files which i have set in named.conf.

When i start up bind i can see in /var/log/messages

named(4635): starting BIND 9.3.1
named(4635): loading configuration from /etc/named.conf

And that´s all, so it looks like BIND is up and running, but when i search for the procress number or for "named" (using ps aux | grep bind | grep -v grep (or grep PID) right after i started bind the process isn´t there. So it seems if BIND starts up and stopps after starting up. But i don´t know why as there are no other messages.

Does anybody know if there are some problems with the package "bind-9.3.1-i486-1" which comes with Slackware 10.2?

What could i do to see if there are any errors if i don´t get any further messages that the one i have (see on top)?

Thanks,
tiuz

how abount " ps aux |grep named " ?

egag

Or run nmap localhost and search for 53 port (DNS).

Named logs it's actions in /var/log/messages , if anything went wrong during startup, you'll find it there.

Nope, no logs in /var/log/messages, just the Startup log for named.

So far i have removed the package and reinstalled it and it works now. I don´t know why it didn´t work before, there where absolutely no messages in /var/log/messages.
