- The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/named</filename> file is used to pass arguments to the <command>named</command> daemon at boot time. The <command>named</command> daemon is a <firstterm>Domain Name System</firstterm> (<firstterm>DNS</firstterm>) server which implements the <firstterm>Berkeley Internet Name Domain</firstterm> (<firstterm>BIND</firstterm>) version 9 distribution. This server maintains a table of which hostnames are associated with IP addresses on the network.
+ The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/named</filename> file is used to pass arguments to the <command>named</command> daemon at boot time. By default, it contains the following options:
</para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>ROOTDIR=<replaceable>value</replaceable></option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The chroot environment under which the <command>named</command> daemon runs. The <replaceable>value</replaceable> has to be a full directory path. For example:
+ </para>
+ <screen>ROOTDIR="/var/named/chroot"</screen>
+ <para>
