I'm trying to run a secondary name server on an Iris 4D running 3.2.1 My /usr/etc/resolv.conf looks like this: domain bu.edu nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 128.197.2.6 nameserver 128.197.21.21 and /usr/etc/named.d/named.boot: cache . /usr/etc/named.d/named.ca secondary BU.EDU 128.197.2.6 128.197.21.21 When I fire up named, nslookup seems to work fine. I have sendmail 5.61 running and it finds MX records with no problem. The problems start on the console - I can't open any windows, they fail with "grcond[2736]: CIO: getsocketpeername: Can't find name for 127.0.0.1 -- connection refused" Also, when booting it rejects all nfs mounts with "host unknown". The host it tries to mount IS in /etc/hosts (and in the nameserver) (I have not tried putting 127.0.0.1 in the nameserver or trying hostnames in uppercase) -e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Pearce eap@bu-pub.bu.edu Boston University Information Technology 111 Cummington Street Boston MA 02215 617-353-2780 voice 617-353-6260 fax

On the surface it looks like your nameserver isn't serving the domain
0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA
This is usually accomplished on the local host by adding the following line
to your named.boot file:
primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA named.local
where the file named.local looks something like:
@ IN SOA Server.bu.edu. named.bu.edu. (
880912 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
7200 ) ; Minimum
IN NS server.bu.edu.
1 IN PTR localhost.
You can check all of this by running nslookup and listing the domain
"0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA"
