My gripe w/ the RedHat dns setup as a newbie is that it uses bind 9, which may well be a better product than bind 4 or bind 8, but for those of us who aren't very comfortable w/ mucking /w DNS, it's not as documented at a Step-by-Step or HOWTO level... yet. Once the packages are installed on SuSE, their excellent manual (Pro edition) basically walks you thru the setup. Supposedly bind 9 is also available; I didn't try. My only problem was that the docs didn't quite spell out to do the whitespacing so as to not give bind problems. So I just copied one of their 192.168.100.zone sample config files, and edited as needed. Worked like a champ. I'm not saying that bind 9 in RedHat (or djbdns) are not as functional or more, or difficult to setup. Just a bit mo! re difficult to puzzle out and get answers for at this stage Monte _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
