DNS/BIND question, is it ze germans?
First some back ground info:
I am working on a computer running SuSE 7.3
I am still trying to set up a DNS
I downloaded BIND 9.2.1 and was following a tutorial about BIND. It said at virtually the start of the tutorial that I should find a file called named.conf in my /etc directory. Yes, I did a ./ configure and a make, and a make install, so I should have installed everything needed. I then began to wonder if perhaps the tutorial was pretaning to and older version of BIND that may be different. I therefore did a make clean and installed BIND 9.0.0. When a do a located named.conf it finds it, but only in the BIND directory in my home drive, not in /etc. When I pipe the locate into a grep -v 'home/my directory' it shows up no where. Is this just SuSE being werid? Or have I done something wrong.
Thanks,
Ronnie

mountd
mountd(8nfs) mountd(8nfs)
Name
mountd - NFS mount request daemon
Syntax
/etc/mountd [-i] [-d] [-s]
Description
The daemon must be run on NFS servers to process NFS mount protocol requests. It reads the file to determine which file systems and direc-
tories are available to which machines and users, and makes this information available to the operating system. The machine names listed
in the file may optionally contain the local BIND domain name. For more information on BIND, see the Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service To
see which clients have file systems or directories mounted, use the command.
Options
-d If you are running the BIND/Hesiod service, after checking the Internet address, will verify that the host requesting a mount or unmount
is in the server's domain.
-i Turns on verification of the Internet address of the client against the server's database for mounts and unmounts. The default is no
address verification.
-s If you are running the BIND/Hesiod service, after checking the Internet address, will verify that the host requesting a mount or unmount
is in the server's subdomain.
