BIND is run in a sandbox in 5.3.  Have a look at 'named_chrootdir=' in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf, and /etc/rc.d/named.

It seems /proc isn't mounted by default on 5.x for security reasons.

I'm guessing you haven't used 5.x :-)

If you mean: 'is it a clean install?', then the answer is yes.
If you mean: 'have I ever installed FreeBSD before?', then the answer
is yes, I've been using it since around 2.2.8 (I used NetBSD before that).

Does anyone else have any ideas?
