Is yum not completely setup correctly? Just thought th yum install bind would have worked also.

Couple things here. 1. We don't know what you've done to yum, so there's no way to judge if you've screwed it up or not. Not enough detail to judge. 2. You're not using the proper package name for bind, up2date is just more braindead/forgiving about it. On RHEL/CentOS systems it's called 'named'. 3. Checking the yum documentation for 'yum search' or 'yum provides' or 'yum list available > list' etc would have showed you the resolution.

If you remove the RPM for bind and try "yum install bind" again, does it fail? Have you changed the /etc/yum.* files in any way?

I see no issue like this, so more information would be necessary to answer your question.

I am using centos 4.3 x86_64. DNS was not selected as package to install when my system was built.
