Description Jay Levitt 2008-06-01 14:55:21 UTC
Description of problem:

/usr/share/doc/bind-9.5.0/sample/etc/named.conf tries to include
/etc/named.root.hints on lines 58, 75 and 118.

However, this file is not included in the package, and there is no documentation
in Fedora that explains how to create it.  (There is some documentation around
the net, found via Google.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
9.5.0-29.b2.fc9

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp /etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.old
2. cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.5.0/sample/etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf
3. named-checkconf /etc/named.conf
  
Actual results:
/etc/bind/named.conf:58: open: /etc/named.root.hints: file not found

Expected results:
Comment in named.conf file above line 58 explaining how to create the file; one
such way is found here: http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/bind9.html

OR

Include /etc/named.root.hints in bind9 package

Comment 1 Jay Levitt 2008-06-01 15:08:45 UTC
Er, or, instead of explaining how to create the file, named.conf could just
point to the actual file that IS included:  /var/named/named.ca
