Dynamic DNS and failed journal

[Brian Chadwick]

Hi

On FC5 I have dhcpd running and attemtping to update the DNS server from 
DHCP.

a log output from bind is as follows:

31-Jul-2006 17:27:55.658 general: notice: running
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.013 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826:

31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.015 general: info: journal file

31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.016 general: error: 
/var/named/bac.org.au.hosts.jnl: create: permission denied
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.016 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826: 
updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': error: journal open failed: unexpected error

I am sure my dhcpd and named config files are ok, as far as allowing 
dynamic updates are concerned anyway ... but there seems to be a 
permission problem in trying to create bind's zone journal.

I have fiddled with permissions, even going so far as to use 777 !! ... 
but the error persists. The update apparantly fails because this journal 
can not be created and/or written. This is a stock standard FC5 
installation.

I suspect this is something to do with the chrooted environment in which 
bind is running ....

Any ideas people?
