Hello, I'm working through the Perfect System Setup - Debian Etch. I'm on page 4 (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p4), but when I go to start Bind9, it gives me an error: Starting domain name service...: bind failed! It doesn't tell me anything in the Log Files... They just show the following (please excuse the length): Apr 20 19:11:06 debian syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart.

Double check all the files you've edited regarding the bind.... http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p4... I found that i'd missed a " somewhere. I hope this helps.
