Hi I am running named non-chroot. I removed bind using yast and /var/lib/named, then resinstalled. I got the following errors: Dec 7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: the working directory is not writable Dec 7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: managed-keys-zone ./IN: loading from master file /var/lib/named/dyn//managed-keys.bind failed: file not found Dec 7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3093]: Starting name server BIND - Warning: /var/run/named/named.pid exists! What I did: 1. touch /var/lib/named/dyn/managed-keys.bind 2. chown -R named:named /var/lib/named 3. /var/lib/named was a link to a directory called /var/lib/named (sic). I removed the link, did mkdir /var/run/named and the error was gone and /var/run/named/named.pid can be seen in /var/run/named when named is running. My question is, is there an openSUSE method to do this? Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
