Not starting on boot
Authored by: Anonymous on Dec 21, '01 01:52:14AM

These directions worked just fine for me, except that Bind isn't starting on boot. There were no errors when I performed the commands. I checked the console, and there doesn't appear to be any information there on what could be going wrong. Any tips for retracing my steps?

Try starting in Verbose Mode by holding down Command-V at boot (while the small, happy Classic Mac is still on the screen). Then watch what appears after it says "Starting Network." This will show stuff in the screen that doesn't end up in the system log.

Also, there should a file called named.log in the /var/log directory. The /var/log directory contains all of the system logs (in fact, the console is just a GUI for tail -f /var/log/system.log). Also, you can open and monitor the /var/log/named.log using the console. There is a command to monitor another log file in the file menu.

At any rate, this should help you figure out what the error is.
