Hi

On FC5 I have dhcpd running and attemtping to update the DNS server from
DHCP.

a log output from bind is as follows:

I am sure my dhcpd and named config files are ok, as far as allowing
dynamic updates are concerned anyway ... but there seems to be a
permission problem in trying to create bind's zone journal.

I have fiddled with permissions, even going so far as to use 777 !! ...
but the error persists. The update apparantly fails because this journal
can not be created and/or written. This is a stock standard FC5
installation.

I suspect this is something to do with the chrooted environment in which
bind is running ....

Any ideas people?

/var/named isn't normally writable by the named process.

Try configuring your DNS server to maintain the DDNS zone file in
the /var/named/slaves directory instead, which is writable by named.
