No joy.  I just tried that  from /etc:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel        21 Jul  9 11:18 namedb -> /var/named/etc/namedb
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel        20 Jul  9 11:17 rndc.key -> /etc/namedb/rndc.key

and I find the same warnings/complainnts as earlier.  The good news,
still, is that bin9 works.  But I still get a lookup error from the
-questions list in /var/log/maillog, so nothing is getting thru to
the list from here at thought.org.

FWIW: Yesterday, I got the latest 7.3 upgrade and compiled it.  I
habe NOT yet installed anything new because the last thing i want to
do is lose my own link with the "real world" ..... :-) * 0.5

your thoughts what I should try next, please?
