    Latley my logs are flooded with these kind of errors

    named[2448]: client <ip>#59969: query (cache) 'tld/A/IN' denied
    named[2448]: client <ip>#65519: query (cache) './ANY/IN' denied
    named[2448]: client <ip>#16808: query (cache) 'tld/NS/IN' denied

    Is it a error in my named or is is just doing what it is supposed to? I recently upgraded from etch to lenny and i started to get these.
    Any ideas?

    Is this a master or slave DNS server?
    Is the client IP always the same, or do you see many different client IPs?

    Hello;

    This may not be related but I noticed that my auth.log was full of warnings about Intruders who are always trying to hack into our server(s).
    So I use this command line in a form of a script (so I can run cron job on it) and then get the intruders IP addresses and later I edit /etc/hosts.deny file and put these IPs in there.

    Here's the grep command I use:
    The first one I had problems with but the 2nd line kind of works**

    #grep 'Failed password' /var/log/auth.log|cut -d ']' --fields=2|cut -d ' ' --fields=9|uniq -c|sort -nr > results.txt

    grep 'from' /var/log/auth.log|cut -d ' ' --field=13|uniq -c|sort -nr > results.txt
    sleep 2
    cat results.txt |more

    ** I grep column (field) number 13 here but I also get a lot of junk in my results.
    I have not found a way to clean up the results.txt file yet?
    If anyone can solve this I will really appreciate it.

    The results.txt looks like this: (too long to post but to just give you an idea):
    2 70.33.245.232
    2 66.193.114.42

    So you don't know these IPs?
    What's in your named.conf?

    seems like all the hits are coming from www[dot]blacklotus[dot]net
    i managed to get trough to their support.
    Are they spoofing me? or how can i secure my bind to not be spoofed?
