But, this is really needed? I can't see why. We can go release with a default: named_chrootdir="" named_flags="-u bind" named_enable="NO" And with your strong support for chrooted operation in /etc/rc.d/named So any sysadmin have time/freedoom for setup the chroot before launch named. The default setup seems enough for a firsttimer/home user. I'll prefer a /etc/named/named.conf default that only listen on localhost. Even I see easier tweak /etc/rc.d/named to populate a wide ${named_chrootdir} from defaults and /etc/namedb. I'm really sorry about that, but I think that the status at fresh BETA6 is far better than now. > I feel that I've provided the users plenty of knobs to customize this > stuff with, but if folks have ideas on how it can be improved, I'm > open to them. > Yes, this is not the way.

An explicit reference to /var/named (filled from tarballs) must exist in release notes. -- josemiReceived on Mon Oct 04 2004 - 19:43:28 UTC
