freebsd stable - May 2003 - Problem with bind8 and ports

Hi
When I install bind8 through ports it doesn't create the dir named
'namedb' and the needed files that it's supposed to do according to
the handbook. Has anyother experienced this?

If you use the port version without flags, it will look for files in
/usr/local/etc (as indicated in the man page, although you probably can't
see it because the system man page for named is in the way). The port
definitely doesn't create a named.conf file for you, although the one in
/etc/namedb/ will work as a start. You could also create a symlink in
/usr/local/etc to /etc/namedb/named.conf.

If you'd prefer to replace the system version of bind with the one from
the port, then use the PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND8 compile option for the
port.

Hope this helps,

Doug
