Hi I'm still a newbie to linux. I'm trying to set up slave nameserver under Fedora 8
I did a default installation and the named.conf has a path of /etc/named.conf and the rest of the configs are stored in /var/named
When I tried to update the slave through master nameserver I get the following error:
Jan 31 17:42:41.799 transfer of 'mydomain.com/IN' from 192.168.3.1#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied
In my slave nameserver, the zones are located in /var/named/slaves. However, when I move the zone files to /var/named the "permission denied" logs disapear and the zone files are updated. I'm guessing it has to do with the permission of named for /var/named/slave
So below are the settings for named. Does anyone see any errors to my setting?
[root@servera ~]# cat /etc/passwd | grep named
named:x:25:25:Named:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
