I'm setting up a new server and I have followed the guide perfectly that I can see. I have trouble when I get to the the chroot part, when i do ln -s ../.. chroot I get ther error ln: `chroot/..': cannot overwrite directory Any suggestions?
Did you run this? Code: cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/ ln -s ../../ chroot If yes, then there's a directory called chroot in /var/named/chroot/var/named/. Please post the output of Code: ls -l /var/named/chroot/var/named/

There's already a symlink from chroot to ../../! This means everything is ok, you can forget about the error.
