I'm guessing it did an rm /etc/namedb/* or something like that. Mergemaster doesn't do anything of the sort. It never takes action on any file or directory on the system unless the user tells it to. >>>> My system was setup correctly with /etc/namedb linked to >>>> /var/named/etc/namedb and it was all placed properly. :( When you say "it was all placed properly," what do you mean by that? >> I don't mean to be an ass, but you *need to read UPDATING* when you >> upgrade CURRENT.

The good news is that if you actually followed the instructions in UPDATING you should have a copy of your old settings in /etc/namedb.bak. And of course, the mergemaster man page counsels you to make good backups before running it. In order to debug this we'll need more information: 1. How do you usually invoke mergemaster? 2. Do you have a .mergemasterrc file? 3. Do you run a MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT? 4. Do you have any *_BIND_* options in /etc/make.conf? 5. Output of 'ls -la /etc/namedb /var/named/etc/namedb' Hope this helps, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protectionReceived on Thu Oct 07 2004 - 21:22:06 UTC
