Re: [webmin-l] Re: Bind 9 on OpenBSD 3.4 Sparc platform (Jay)

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Webmin will always attempt to get the PID file from the named.conf file,
and will prepend any chroot directory set on the Module Config page.

What does the options section of your named.conf file look like? - that is
where webmin looks for the PID.
