Dear my Friends Finally I found my mistake.... because some of my friends gave me the solution. I really appreciate their help. But I still have a problem with my BIND 9. I don't find the error message as before anymore, like this error message : " Nov 15 18:53:09 transistor /usr/sbin/named[2504]: dns_rdata_fromtext: 192.168.23.zone:2: near eol: unexpected end of input Nov 15 18:53:09 transistor /usr/sbin/named[2504]: dns_zone_load: zone 23.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading master file 192.168.23.zone: unexpected " But my BIND 9 still doesn't work. I tested it with nslookup [hostname] but it still doesn't give the expected responds. Here is the error message : " transistor:~ # nslookup -sil
transistor ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached apasenau ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
" I tried to investigate the problem from the xconsole.... but I have not found the problem up to now. Here is the message of my xconsole : " Console log for transistor Nov 20 14:47:33 transistor /usr/sbin/named[868]: binding TCP socket: address in use Nov 20 14:47:33 transistor /usr/sbin/named[868]: binding TCP socket: address in use Nov 20 14:47:33 transistor kernel: ip_tables: (c)2000 Netfilter core team Nov 20 14:47:33 transistor kernel: ip_conntrack (4095 buckets, 32760 max) Nov 20 14:47:33 transistor kernel: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html " I am suspecting the 2 first messages namely : "binding TCP socket: address in use". Am I right....? But I don't know how to correct them. Could you help me one more time to find the problem ? Here I attached my "192.168.23.zone" file. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
