named syslog message

Hi,

I'm running an HP-UX 11i V1 (B.11.11 U 9000/800) on an internal network.

My syslog is plenty of named messages like the following one, is this message a real error or should I try to make named less verbose?

Sep 30 11:31:01 mybox named[705]: Cleaned cache of 0 RRs
Sep 30 11:31:01 mybox named[705]: USAGE 1128090661 1127748661 CPU=0.05u/0.07s CHILDCPU=0u/0s

Looks like a normal maintenance message from named.

Have you setup DNS services on this server.
If not try /sbin/init.d/named stop and observe.

thx,

Anything unusual in /etc/named.conf ?

Nothing unusual I think:

// generated by named-bootconf.pl

options {
check-names response fail; // do not change this
check-names slave warn;
directory "/etc/named.data"; // running directory for named

// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// type domain source file
//
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
};

zone "netsetux" {
type master;
file "db.mydomain";
};

zone "1.110.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "db.10.110.1";
};

zone "." {
type master;
file "db.root";
};

In fact I must run named service because some applications are using it to resolve it's own domain. (at least this was what the app support told us:)

If you run

# ps -ef | grep "named"

Does the named daemon have a flag -dN associated with it, where 'N' is an integer.

No, no -dN flag enabling logging.
