Bind 9.2.2 problem - it works only with -f or -g

[Horatius Farcas]

Hi. Please help me to make the named daemon on Fedora Core 1 (bind
9.2.2-P3) answering to domain requests.

 

What I discovered up to now:

1.	After installing Fedora Core 1 and setting named to start
automatically it start, but doesn't reply to any domain request . I did
this on 2 separate machines, both brand new: same situation.
2.	I checked the named.conf file with named-checkconf and
everything is OK. 
3.	/var/log/messages report that the named starts succesfully EVEN
on the interfaces rejected by me in named.conf!! 
4.	If I start manually the daemon with -d 5 and -g options I
discovered the first eror: Feb 13 11:01:58.656 couldn't open pid file
'/var/run/named/named.pid': Permission denied 
5.	I fixed that manually chmod 777 /var/run/named 
6.	After that, named -g start corectly the DNS server and answer to
all domain requests...That's OK! BUT AFTER A RESTART CRASH AGAIN. 

 

Bottom line: I can make named to answer to domain requests only if is
started  with -f or -g option... ie DO NOT DAEMONIZE! On auto start or
service named restart, it starts, but simply refuse to answer to all
domain requests. On tcpdump I see the packets coming, and after a large
period of time the server respond with SERVFAIL ...

What is wrong? 

 

PS: iptables is DOWN!

 

Thank U.
