How to Initialize the Server

To initialize a server, do the following.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Install the named.conf configuration file and the required data files, as described in the previous sections.

  3. Run in.named.

    #/usr/sbin/in.named

    Instead of running in.named from the command line, you can reboot.
