Description Simon Hewison 2005-09-28 08:10:15 UTC 
When performing a binary upgrade from a PR build of 5.4 using sysinstall, the /var/named/etc/named.conf gets replaced by a standard build, presumably since named now runs in a chroot environemnt by default.

Fix: 

Remember to back up /var/named/etc/named.conf, restore upon completion on binary upgrade
How-To-Repeat: Get named configured, perform binary upgrade with sysinstall

This is really a problem with sysinstall rather than the configuration 
files themselves.
Comment 2 Jo Rhett 2007-04-20 20:49:48 UTC 
I'd like to add that this problem continues.  I just saw it when doing a 
binary upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2.
