Have a look at the comments below http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_bind_chroot_debian It's a problem with your permissions.
so i just do: knod /var/lib/named/dev/null c 1 3 mknod /var/lib/named/dev/random c 1 8 chmod 666 /var/lib/named/dev/null /var/lib/named/dev/random On Debian Sarge (3.1): chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/named/var/* chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/named/etc/bind And thats it?
I use debian 3.1 I follow one of tutorials dont know which (from howtoforge) I just apt-get bind9. And now haave that error.
