Linux

I am changing company server (HW) with a new machine 64bit I installed Fedora 7 64 with this in mind. Opened up DNS server. And made configurations according to internet web sites resource docs. The problem is about bind I use bind 9.4.1.9.P1.fc7 (fc7 is for fedora 7 I think)
all docs are talking about 3 docs:
named.conf
named.root.hints
named.root

I cannot find named.root find under /usr/share/doc/bind-9.4.1/sample, but all documents it is supposed to be there. And when I copied from server such as:
dig @a.root-servers.net . ns > /home/chroot-dns-int/var/named/root.hints.db
and renamed copied and tried to start names server ,but I got the error:
/etc/named.root.hints:2: '}' expected near ';' [FAILED]

I got stuck on this step, is there anybody help me or recommend a generic setup procedure for Linux DNS ??

Thanks in advance

Did you setup a rndc.conf file ? Also, you should have "system-config-bind" command available, it should guide you through the process. Can you post the problematic file and obscure any sensitive info ? I guess you have missed a " ; " semicolon somewhere in the config files.
The syntax is :

sysgate,

I couldn t find find rdnc.conf around Fedora directories. If it is generic could you please supply an address or file itself?

when it comes to system-config-bind , it is unavailable in my fedora

Also I couldn't find named.root file under directories of Fedora 7 ?

Thanks in advance

Here is a link to the named.root file. I just noticed that "system-config-bind" should be installed additionally, either via yum or rpm.

Thanks for the address, I ll try it out now and notify you..

yes system-config-bind comes with, I realized that fact now:

Code:

$yum install system-config-bind
