This is my first time working with servers so please excuse my lack of knowledge. Starting from a fresh Fedora 9 Install I have been following the Fedroa 9 How-to when I go to 10 Install A Chrooted DNS Server (BIND9). The following interaction to place: [root@server ~]# yum install bind-chroot Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package bind-chroot.i386 32:9.5.0-29.b2.fc9 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: bind-chroot i386 32:9.5.0-29.b2.fc9 fedora 55 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 55 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/1): bind-chroot-9.5.0-29.b2.fc9.i386.rpm | 55 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: bind-chroot ######################### [1/1] warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: user named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: user named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: user named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: user named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: user named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root warning: user named does not exist - using root warning: group named does not exist - using root Installed: bind-chroot.i386 32:9.5.0-29.b2.fc9 Complete!

And; Why did I have to do something different than the How-to? Thanks for the help Chris
Should be ok now. I don't know why this happened, maybe the Fedora packages have changed in the meantime...
