Description of problem:


All the bind configurations generated by bindconf refer to named.ca, that is installed by 
caching-nameserver, that's not a dipendence.


In this way bindconf generates configurations that don't work.





Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):








How reproducible:


Always





Steps to Reproduce:


1. Install bindconf, remove caching-nameserver


2. Generate a configuration


3. Try to start named


	





Actual Results:  Named doesn't start (worse, the init.d script says "OK", but the daemon 
doesn't start).

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2002-08-08 20:40:52 UTC 
I have moved the lines
zone  "." {
        type hint;
        file  "named.ca";
};
In build redhat-config-bind 1.8.1-12.  This will be in the next version of
RedHat Linux.

Out of the default /etc/named.conf and put them into /etc/named.custom.  So if
you  don't want to use the cacheing name server you just need to remove these lines.
