Centos – Unabled to get rid of BIND 9 chroot

bindcentoschrootlinux

I had installed bind-chroot from yum not long ago, and saw that there were errors in the daily logs from named. Under further investigation, I noticed a directory loop. The named files resided under /var/named, with the chroot being in /var/named/chroot. For whatever reason, /var/named/chroot/var/named just leads back to /var/named. ls -al doesn't show any link between the directories.

OS: CentOS 6.2

uname -a: 

Linux plutonium 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 7 00:52:02 GMT 2012 x86_64 x86_64      x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm not really the most linux savvy, so I don't really know what more information I can provide you all with. Please let me know if there is some other piece of information I can give you that would be helpful.

Best Answer

You should perform an yum remove bind-chroot, change the directory names and try installing bind-chroot again if the problem continues, remove it again and intall it from an EPEL distribution.
