Publik DNS Server HOWTO for E-SMITH 4.1.x
« on: October 06, 2001, 07:36:02 PM »
Hello

I just finished this document (installation), and after reboot it started to show funny things to me.

/usr/sbin/named requiers argument --t
Usage of named [-d , etc...]
INIT:Id "nd" respawning too fast disabled for 5 minutes

????????????????????????????

what is that supposed to mean?
ip pt 7 when i edited the inittab f´ile

7. Edit the inittab file to start two instances of Named
   create a custom template for /etc/inittab
   mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab
   cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/inittab/* /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab
   edit file 15named to launch 2 copies of named with different config files    (example: pico 15named)
   $OUT .= "ni:3457:respawn:/usr/sbin/named -f -u dns -g dns";
   $OUT .= " -t /home/dns /etc/named.conf\n";
   $OUT .= "ne:3457:respawn:/usr/sbin/named -f -u dns -g dns";
   $OUT .= " -t /home/dns /etc/named-ext.conf";

   expand this new template
   /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/inittab
   Changes will not take effect until a reboot (but we will do that at the end)

where is the $OUT part i didnt delete the old part(wich was written there earlier)
there was
  $OUT .= "nd:3457:respawn:/usr/sbin/named -f";
  $OUT .= " -u dns -g dns -t /home/dns";

after these lines i wrote the part from the document. Of course there were a few lines before "nd: line, but they were completely different.
was i supposed to erease the "nd: line? all the lines? or what else could be wrong?
i am still a newby in linux so please givme detailed descriptions of what i must do if possible.

Thanks
Sander
