<div>The QuickDNS installer should have taken care of these issues,
except for the first one. It is assumed that you have enabled the
native FreeBSD boot script for named.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you want all components to run under the username
"bind", then during installation of QuickDNS, you should
have specified this name when asked. The QuickDNS components
qdnscentrald and qdnsremoted should have the -u and -g options set on
the command line to tell them which user and group names to use.
Similarly, the named command line should include the -u option.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Examples:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>/usr/sbin/named -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind</div>
<div>/usr/sbin/qdnsremoted -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -ubind
-gdaemon</div>
<div>/usr/sbin/qdnscentrald -ubind -gdaemon</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>All configuration files and directories (e.g. /etc/namedb and
/var/qdns/qdnscentral) should have their owner and group names set
appropriately.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Again, the install should have taken care of all of these
details. Reinstalling is a simple way to change these values - no data
will be destroyed by reinstalling.</div>

That hower doesn't allow QuickDNS to make changes to it.
So I went back in restarted named but this time as the user bind.
QuickDNS can make chagnes to it but named doesn't run properly b/c it
doesn't have permissiosn to bind to any interface.</font></blockquote>
