2. Change the permissions & run the genddnskey.sh file

chmod a+rwx /home/script/genddnskey.sh
./genddnskey.sh

3. Download, copy & edit the example named.conf file to

http://www.opensourcehowto.org/uploads/conf/named.conf.txt



cp named.conf /etc/named.conf



nano /etc/named.conf

4. Download, copy & edit the example dhcpd.conf file to

http://www.opensourcehowto.org/uploads/conf/dhcpd.conf.txt



cp dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf



nano /etc/dhcpd.conf



5. Download, copy & edit the example fedora.directory.server.hosts file to

http://www.opensourcehowto.org/uploads/conf/fedora.directory.server.hosts.txt



cp fedora.directory.server.hosts /var/named/chroot/var/named/fedora.directory.server.hosts



nano /var/named/chroot/var/named/fedora.directory.server.hosts



6. Download, copy & edit the example 0.168.192.rev file to

http://www.opensourcehowto.org/uploads/conf/0.168.192.rev.txt



cp 0.168.192.rev /var/named/chroot/var/named/0.168.192.rev

7. Change the ownership of all the files in the named chroot

chown -R named:named /var/named/chroot/etc
chown -R named:named /var/named/chroot/var

8. Change the read/write/execute permissions of all the files in the named chroot

chmod -R u+rwx /var/named/chroot/etc
