I was not trying to blame you in person for anything which might have
been wrong in rc.d/named or not. If you've read that out of my mail it
must have been my english knowledge which might be insufficient. My
intention was just to bring up a point which may also disencourage other
people.
I was just wondering why the chroot option of named-checkconf was not
used with the specified chroot-dir. Then named-checkconf would have
picked up the specified configuration file.
This was all what I was trying to mention in the first place... But It
looks like this was the wrong "solution" to my problem. This is OK for
me....

I will, but please also consider that a foreigner must not have the same
english skills you have and that it is easy to get the tone wrong
unintentionally. At least in german it is kinda easy ;)

removed it

used that

Did that and used your new script - now it works.

Hmm ok... But  I'm using this configuration/setup since 03/2003 without
problems and just adjusted it from time to time to meet the new
requirements (bind 8->9 switch and so on)
I'm using "named" instead of "namedb" because the whole directory is kept
in a local cvs and I just wanted it "out" of the FreeBSD related files to
make sure there is no interference at all.
