Search Again: Re: default: info: sysquery: nlookup error on ? From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, October 10, 2002 Time: 12:30:47 pm QuickDNS, by default, includes two logging channels. One is to syslogd (/var/log/system.log on Mac OS X) and the other is to /var/named/quickdns.log. All the details are spelled out in /var/named/conf/logging. Here is the log statement (from quickdns.log) for successfully loading the root hints file: 08-May-2002 10:06:19.194 load: info: hint zone "" (IN) loaded (serial 0) Unless one does some serious monkeying around, changing boot scripts and file ownership and such, QuickDNS for Mac OS X runs as the root user. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 6:52 AM -0500 10/10/02, Len Conrad wrote: >>Have removed and recreated the root.hints file inside of >>/var/named/conf and restarted.
