[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI BIND server

[Mark Creamer]

I've been trying to get BIND working on a server running oi_151a.
Never done this before, so I'm reading everywhere I can about how to
do this, although I can't find any tutorial that is OI-specific. I'm
following examples in "DNS and BIND Cookbook" (O'Reilly)

Anyway, it appears to be installed by default
(network/dns/server:default), but the service shows "disabled". After
creating the necessary files (named.conf and a zone file which is
specified in named.conf), I tried to start the service but it goes
into maintenance state.

Next I read /var/svc/log/network-dns-server\:default.log. It says:

[ Apr 11 18:06:21 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/dns-server
start default"). ]
dns-server: Executing: /usr/sbin/named
dns-server : start failed! Check syslog for further information.
[ Apr 11 18:06:22 Method "start" exited with status 1. ]

So I go to /var/log/syslog, but there is nothing there referencing the
problem. Nothing about the service at all, just the "mail" service.

I'm just looking for some help on where the problem might be logged,
since I can't find anything in the above 2 log files.
