| James,
|
| I had to day off due to a local government holiday, so Friday
| morning I plan on checking on my other server boxes with FC3
| installs and see what files are currently common within the
| /var/named path and the /var/named/chroot/var/named path. Then I
| will try to create some new files and see if and in which path they
| show up. Then I'll post the results here tomorrow evening.

| the same problem I am having.

Bill,

Files to watch......
/etc/named.conf
/etc/named.cusom
/var/named <<--- Files here

Chrooted files
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.custom
/var/named/chroot/var/named/ <<--- Files here

Things also get a little strange if you let them...
/var/named/chroot/var/named/chroot/var/named/ <<-- directory exists;
but no files should be here.

Each place has separate files. There are no links to files in either
place.
I'm not sure which would be better; removing the original files in
/etc/named.conf and replace them with links to the chrooted files
- --or-- putting links in the chrooted area back to the /etc/named.conf
files and etc.
Either way, it makes things difficult to manage.

James
