Fedora Core 4 Update: caching-nameserver-7.3-4.FC4

[Mike Cohler]

I also note that the file ownership is changed....

i.e. Within /var/named/chroot/var/named
doing ls -l gives

8 -rw-r--r--  1 root root  1323 Aug 26 10:00 localtime
4 -rw-r--r--  1 root root  1323 Dec 19 21:30 named.conf
8 -rw-r--r--  1 root named 1623 Aug 26 10:22 named.conf.rpmsave
4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Aug 26 10:22 PREV/
8 -rw-r--r--  1 root named  132 Aug 26 08:48 rndc.key

So the new named.conf is owned differently from the .rpmsave version.

I presume this is intentional.

By the way the links in your previous files linked from /etc mean that
you only need edit the chrooted version.

Well, the .rpmsave files are just made by mv'ing the old file out of the
way so it doesn't get clobbered.  If a "file" is really a soft link, it
will still point to the same path it used to point to, as it hasn't been
changed.  What you have with the .rpmsave files is a way to compare old and
new, and a way to back out of difficulty if you need to, not some parallel
working installation.

In your case, /etc/named.conf.rpmsave isn't interesting, but a comparison
of /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf with
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.rpmsave would let you merge back any
custom configuration with any changes that might have been made in a new
named.conf (probably none, given that the .rpmsave files are made whenever
any difference is noted, with no effort to "understand" its signifigance).
