Hi David

- my "read random files from a server across the world" program isn't
working... how about... giving us the actual messages in the logs? How
about showing us the named-xs.conf.in ? ;-)

To get the interesting msgs from /var/log/messages, you can do

grep named /var/log/messages > named-messages.log

Damn - that file is not under git control :-/

Get hold of the xs-config rpm (from the install cd for example) -- you
can get the file from the rpm following the process outlined here:
