Well 2 out of three responding suggested I not use the 8.1 BIND but go
back to the 4.9. I decided, for the moment to stay with version 8.
At this point I've gotten everything built, got config files from another
named running on our campus and used the perl script to convert the
named.boot file to a named.conf file.
I can start named, and use nslookup to locate information on local
systems, but anything out of our campus fails.
Running the debug option I see this message in named.run :
req: nlookup(ibm.com) id 19702 type=1 class=1
req: found 'ibm.com' as 'com' (cname=0)
np_parent(0x0) couldn't find root entry
np_parent(0x0) couldn't find root entry
The source code sez:
ns_debug(ns_log_db, 1,
"np_parent(0x%lx) couldn't find root entry",
(u_long) np);
return (NULL); /* XXX shouldn't happen */
}
Which I take to mean, "This is not a good thing".
The request eventually times out.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction to find and fix this problem?
Thanks!
