Hi everyone

openSUSE 12.1

After a recent Samba 4 pull I have these errors:

Dec  7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953
Dec  7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: the working directory is not writable
Dec  7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: managed-keys-zone ./IN: loading from 
master file /var/lib/named/dyn//managed-keys.bind failed: file not found
Dec  7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: managed-keys-zone ./IN: loaded serial 0
Dec  7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3093]: Starting name server BIND - Warning: 
/var/run/named/named.pid exists! ..done
Dec  7 19:53:37 hh3 named[3121]: running

Bind was recently updated in openSUSE. Setting /var/lib/named to 
named:named got rid of the first error. Is that OK?

But then:

rm /var/run/named/named.pid
rm: cannot remove `/var/run/named/named.pid': Too many levels of 
symbolic links

rm -r /var/run/named/ and restarting bind gives the same error.

I can't find much about the managed keys. I've asked here before abou 
this and on the openSUSE list.

The only change to the /etc/named.conf supplied by the distro is including:
/usr/local/samba/private/named.conf

Apart from this, bind and kebreros, pass all the tests as specified in 
the samba 4 howto.

If I:
touch /var/lib/named/dyn//managed-keys.bind

and restart named, it's almost clean:

Dec  7 20:23:13 hh3 named[3302]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953
Dec  7 20:23:13 hh3 named[3302]: couldn't add command channel ::1#953:

/var/run/named/named.pid exists! ..done
Dec  7 20:23:13 hh3 named[3302]: running

Before I can test and draw conclusions about the latest checkout I must 
know if these errors are significant.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
Steve.
