Unable to install bind-chroot on FC6

[Steven Stromer]

Sorry to hijack, but I am experiencing the same problem. I have been 
installing FC6 on a bunch of servers, and did not elect to install BIND 
during the initial install. I installed bind-9.3.3rc3 (which appears to 
force the install of bind-chroot, without saying it will do so, though I 
do want the package...) and bind-libs. The service and directories seem 
to get installed and created, but none of the default configuration or 
zone files get installed. I've tried uninstalling, removing the 
directories, and reinstalling, and still the same result. Without 
named.conf, the service can not start. Installing caching-nameserver 
creates a caching-nameserver conf file and appropriate zone files, but I 
am trying to set up an authoritative name server. I could manually 
create all of the basic zones, etc. but this seems a bit more work than 
should be called for. I have configured DNS numerous times before on 
previous FC versions, so this isn't my first attempt at this process, 
but we all forget a step here or there over time ;-) Am I missing 
something here? Mark, have you found a solution?

Thanks,
Steven Stromer
