I upgrade to bind9 on my OpenBSD box and run the bind9-enable script.  I
put the config files in /var/named.  I attempt to start bind with the
"named" command.  It only lets me do it as a non-privileged user.  So, I
attempt to chroot() it, and I get "chroot(): Operation not permitted."
Then, I attempt to chroot() it as root and it cannot find the "named"
executable - even when I switch to the directory it's in!

Finally, I break down and copy /var/named/etc/named.conf to /etc.  I run
it (as a nonprivileged user, the only way it will take it) and, after it
*es about some syntax errors which I correct, I try again.  This time,
I get, in /var/log/messages:

Sep 11 00:04:26 chianti named[26863]: starting BIND 9.2.0

Sep 11 00:04:27 chianti named[26863]: loading configuration: file not fou

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks.

# /usr/local/sbin/named -u named -t /var/named

The named.conf file MUST be in /var/named/etc and that file should
contain the lines:

[/var/named/etc]# cat named.conf
options {
        directory "/namedb";
        pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
        };

/var/run/var/run must be owned by the user 'named' so that the PID can
be written.  The zone files must then be in /var/named/namedb.

/var/named/etc should also contain the localtime file copied from the
appropriate directory in /usr/share/zoneinfo.

Because you have moved your files!
