Upon installing Centos 4.4 a second time it worked "out of the box" as expected. Sorry that I caused a stir over a non-problem. I still have no idea what I did that may have caused dns to fail, I think I made all the same choices and entries the second time around? However doing this in the wee hours I had no interruptions or distractions ...
Should anyone be interested the dns servers are: cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 12.189.32.61 nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220
These are all external to your box.
but there may be a problem here: service named status rndc: connect failed: connection refused
So this isn't a problem - you don't need named running on the box unless you want to support having "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in your resolv.conf
Hope this helps.
Cheers Tony
Yes I want the caching-nameserver running and thought it would result from the install but that didn't happen?
Despite that it seems to be working well! I was able to install xfce via yum but apparently gkrellm will have to be done without yum? I also like the dejavu fonts ...
So I have some configuration to attend to but so far I am quite happy with the result.
Thanks.
