[root@fedora ~]# less /etc/sysconfig/named

# BIND named process options

# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# Currently, you can use the following options:

#

# ROOTDIR="/var/named/chroot"  --  will run named in a chroot environment.

#                            you must set up the chroot environment

#                            (install the bind-chroot package) before

#                            doing this.

#          NOTE:

#         Those directories are automatically mounted to chroot if they are

#         empty in the ROOTDIR directory. It will simplify maintenance of your

#         chroot environment.

#          - /var/named

#          - /etc/pki/dnssec-keys

#          - /etc/named

#          - /usr/lib64/bind or /usr/lib/bind (architecture dependent)

#

#            Those files are mounted as well if target file doesn't exist in

#            chroot.

#          - /etc/named.conf

#          - /etc/rndc.conf

#          - /etc/rndc.key

#          - /etc/named.rfc1912.zones

#          - /etc/named.dnssec.keys

#             - /etc/named.iscdlv.key

#

#          Don't forget to add "$AddUnixListenSocket /var/named/chroot/dev/log"

#          line to your /etc/rsyslog.conf file. Otherwise your logging becomes

#          broken when rsyslogd daemon is restarted (due update, for example).

#

# OPTIONS="whatever"     --  These additional options will be passed to named

#                            at startup. Don't add -t here, use ROOTDIR instead.

#

# KEYTAB_FILE="/dir/file"    --  Specify named service keytab file (for GSS-TSIG)

#

# DISABLE_ZONE_CHECKING  -- By default, initscript calls named-checkzone

#                                      utility for every zone to ensure all zones are

#                                      valid before named starts. If you set this option

#                                      to 'yes' then initscript doesn't perform those

#                                      checks.

ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot

[root@fedora ~]#

2.  Hit 'q' key to exit.
