I only installed BIND because I did not want to copy "/etc/hosts" to every machine. But as I said: It failed miserably. I got all the other network services running on my SOHO Linux Network. Only BIND does not cooperate. And reading a x-hundred page book for a hand full of computers seems overkill. With Regards Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
