Am I connected to QDNS or >"MacOSX Bind"? The "error reading statistics" problem generally is caused by the name server not running. Keep in mind, when you connect with Manager, you're connecting to QujickDNS Remote, not to the actual DNS server software. To solve this problem, check the server log (in QuickDNS Manager) and also look in "/var/log/system.log" for errors related to the "named" process. There's probably some error causing it to fail as it starts up. The Mac OS X version of QuickDNS Server is reported as Bind, since it's based on Bind 8.2.x. >2. Would should be done to desactivate "MacOSX Bind" to use QDNS only? No need. The installer does this for you, if you're using Mac OS X Server. If you're using Mac OS X, unless you've installed Bind separately, there is no version of Bind installed until QuickDNS Server is installed. >and 3. How do I uninstall QDNS 3.5 for OSX? Removing QuickDNS Server for Mac OS X currently involves some manual effort. Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands from the prompt. You must have supervisor privileges to remove the software: 1. Remove the startup script from the startup items folder: % sudo rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS 2. Remove the receipt for the QuickDNS 3.5 installer: % sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/QuickDNS_3.5.pkg 3. Remove qdnsd (QuickDNS Daemon), qdnsr (QuickDNS Remote) and qdnscontrol (the control script for QuickDNS): % sudo rm /usr/sbin/qdns* 4. Remove the DNS server (named) installed by the QuickDNS 3.5 installer: % sudo rm /usr/sbin/named 5. Remove the zone transfer utility (named-xfer) installed by the QuickDNS 3.5 installer: % sudo rm /usr/libexec/named-xfer 6. Remove zone and configuration directory for named % sudo rm -rf /var/named 7. Remove the initial configuration file for named: % sudo rm /etc/named.conf ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
