Very Computer

I'm trying to setup named on a linux system (it will be on the
internet in a week or so).  I try to run named but I get errors in my
syslog saying that I haven't defined a SOA record.  I followed the
examples in the NAG and I've stared at named.boot & named.hosts but I
still can't see whats wrong (I do have a SOA record, makes perfect
sense to me...)  Are there file permissions that need to be set?

Is there something stupid that I'm overlooking?

My SOA record looks like this: (from memory)
;
; Origin : crocker.com

                        matthew.crocker.com.
                        1       ; serial
                        4000    ; refresh
                        4000    ; expire
                        4000    ; minimum
                        )
        IN      A       dns.crocker.com.
        IN      MX      rmc1.crocker.com.

[...]

The numbers for refresh & expire etc are not what I have in the file,
I'll have to get the actual files and post them in a few days...

Any hints?  Can anybody send me their working named.boot etc?
just tar & gz & uuencode them to my email...

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who sent me mail,  I have named up and running,  If
only my T1 would stay up :(.  My problem was in the above line..
it should be like:

crocker.com.    IN      MX      10      rmc1.crocker.com.

I forgot the '10' which is the preference value for the MX record.
its all fixed again,  thanks everyone who responded.

Right. But there is a directive 'directory' in named.boot file calling
named where to find data files, e. g.:

directory       /usr/lib/named

I have another question. How to tell named which DNS's should it ask if it
doesn't find any answer in it's local database?

Any answer will be appreciated, e-mail is preferred.

Regards,
Maciej

I have some problems with the ethernet controller SMC 3016.
they should be compatible with WD - controller (ETHERNET-HOW-TO)
but i was not able to configure my box to regognize them.
i use linux. 0.99p12.
i tried io 0x300, 0x340 and 0x360 and interrupt 5 and 10.
Ethernet How-To , netware administration guide and FAQ did not help me.

thanx for any help
