It sounds like the program named is trying to run "named" as user "named" instead of user "root". I'm not sure how that would happen, but what-the-hey!

Try creating a user called "named"

Well, that seams to be the case. Sure one can weep it under the carpet by creating a named user&group, but that's not ideal as it might cause access problems for other users, but then I also want to understand what's happen and why.. In other words, I'm not looking for the easy way out, but thanks anyway for your input. Joakim

Hi!

I try to set up the Bind8 DNS server, have used the basic named file named.conf in the /bind dir and copied it to /etc/named.conf, set start named to "yes", but at start I just got a message: user "named" unknown
