Description of Problem: I had to install bind/named on RH7.3 since this package was not installed from the origin install of the computer. I took bind-9.2.1-0.7x.i386.rpm from updates.redhat.com and installed it. /var/named was created, but the usual default file /etc/named.conf was not provided. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.2.1-0.7x.i386.rpm How Reproducible: Fresh RH 7.3 Linux install (not server) + rpm -i bind-9.2.1-0.7x.i386.rpm Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: No default /etc/named.conf provided at rpm install Expected Results: File /etc/named.conf with the usual settings to help beginners to setup named. Additional Information:
This is intentional, the default named configuration is in the caching-nameserver package.
