Named (DNS Name Server) question
As suggested by the forum I'm posting in, I'm very new at this, so bear with me please.
I'm using a Virtual Dedicated server (Linux) from GoDaddy and using Simple Control Panel. A few days ago, the sites running off of it stopped working, and I did manage to troubleshoot it to some extent where I found out that the "Named (DNS Name Server)" service wasn't running. I clicked on <Start>, it started, and everything went back to normal.
Same thing happened today, though when I click on <Start> again, it's not starting this time. Even after a reboot, it remains off.
I have two questions then:
1. How do I get it to start again?
2. What could be causing it to stop and not start again so I don't have to keep starting it?
Thanks!

I can't rememeber what passwd is set for the "named" user in bind.
Is there possibly a default one or anyway to find it ?

what other files would I need to edit ?
