Get the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual, or the BIND 8 documentation on logging, and read about the various logging categories. You should be able to map the symbolic names used in the documentation with the plain English names used in QuickDNS Manager's server options window. Exactly what gets logged to what category, and at what severity, isn't well documented in any case. Especially for BIND 9. So if you've got it set to "info" severity level and all categories are checked, just look at your log file - every message says what category and severity it matches. If there's anything you'd rather not see, either deselect the relevant category or raise the severity level to notice, warning, or error. Personally, I tend to turn off the query and lame servers categories, with everything else checked, and raise the severity to notice. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 12:19 PM +1000 6/12/04, Nicholas Orr wrote: >But is there a way of "trashing" the preferences file and restarting >it so that it recreates the settings from a default? > >Nick > >On 11/06/2004, at 4:42 PM, Men & Mice Support wrote: > >>The default settings depend on your version of BIND.
