Hi,
I've compiled and installed nsd and configured nsd without any problems as
far as I can see, my problem is that when i try to build the zone files I get
loads of error message about unrecognised characters and the result is that the
zone information isn't compiled. I have looked at sample zone files from the
internet and can't find anything wrong with mine. I've just migrated
from windows and am now using redhat 9. I am impressed with NSD so far, it seems
so simple to use and only does exactly what I need of a DNS server. Below is my
zone file, the IP's have been altered, could you please point in the right
direction. I am new to linux so please be gentle :-)

On Linux you can use the "dos2unix" command to convert the file. Does this solve your problem? Erik

Which version of NSD are you using, and what are the actual errors you are seeing?> ; > ; DNS master file for pdgaskell.co.uk > ; > @ 7200 IN SOA ns1 webmaster.pdgaskell.co.uk.
