Hi,
Just installed BIND on rhel6 as a primary new DNS server and all went well, digging and resolving as it should.
However, all zone files are listed in the /var/named dir as well as the /var/named/chroot/var/named. Although no dynamic links are shown, they are. This doesn't seem secure to me, is this how chroot should look in rhel6?
Can anyone advise?
R,

Yes, it seems perfectly fine. named is running in the chroot environment.
