4.10-BETA named (not) starting

On Thu, Apr 15, 2004 at 09:50:51AM -0400 I heard the voice of
Kenneth W Cochran, and lo! it spake thus:

No, the config file gets loaded AFTER you chroot to the directory you
specified with `-t`.  And since that's /etc/namedb, and it's expecting
to find an /etc/namedb/named.conf, the file should actually be in
/etc/namedb/etc/namedb/named.conf.  You'd have to specify with -c
where it is relative to the chroot.

The `ndc start` worked because it doesn't include the args in rc.conf,
so it's not chroot'd (or running as bind, for that matter...)
