Thanks for your reply, Paul. Looking in /var I noticed I did not have
any named-directory. I'm using dynamic IP-adressing, and use my provider
as my nameserver. With RH3, however, I always managed to get around
without bothering about named. Shouldn't I be able to get around with
my providers nameserver, and do you have a clue how come it doesn't see
(or at least doesn't seem to see) the nameserver at my providers?
