I've looked everywhere, but I don't see this very obvious question
addressed...

I have BIND 8.1.2 installed on a Solaris 2.6 machine. The startup file
for named in /etc/rc2.d looks for the old named.boot file, and if it is
present starts in.named. However, named.boot is "long gone" in version
8. Don't I have to make some change to the file, like looking for
named.conf instead?

I haven't seen this mentioned. Anyone care to comment?
Please copy to li...@numenet.com if you have any advice.

Thanks,

Liam

Obviously, yes. Or just leave an unused named.boot file around (the script
doesn't care what's in the file, only that it exists).

just have a look too the src/bin/named directory the is a perl script
called named-bootconf.pl
this script translate the old named.boot to a named.conf file

The other way is just changing the named.conf in the directory mentioned
above

hope this helps

Modify /etc/inetsvc. Comment the 3 lines for the old named. Paste the
old 3 lines below and change in.named to named. Change named.boot
to named.conf. That's all.
