Hi

After updating of bind of SL4.6 on 12th (11th) July by YUM,
the previous configuration file /var/named/chroot/etc/named is
renamed as named.conf.rpmsave, and a new initial configuration
file is stored as /var/named/chroot/etc/named, at least on SL4.6
X86_86 and SL46 i386 distributions. This seems to be opposite.!!
As a result, several bind users seems to have encountered the
problem by the initialization of the named.conf file.

So, all the bind users of SL 4.6 are recommended to check the
bind configuration files (/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf)
after updating by YUM on 12th ( or 11th) July 2008.

In our case, afther the YUM update on 12th July,
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf (Initial config. file)
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.rpmsave (previous config. file on the
system)

(SL46 X86_64)# ls -l /var/named/chroot/etc
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125 Aug 29 2006 localtime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1323 Jul 10 23:22 named.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1323 Mar 15 2005 named.conf.org
-rw-r--r-- 1 root named 1701 Mar 25 18:02 named.conf.rpmsave
-rw-r--r-- 1 root named 132 Jan 20 2006 rndc.key

This problem does not exist on SL 5.2 (X86_64).
