    36. 

  36. <p><span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span>
    37. 

  37.       checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
    38. 

  38.       <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.  The file is parsed
    39. 

  39.       and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it.
    40. 

  40.       If no file is specified, <code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code> is read
    41. 

  41.       by default.
    42. 

  42.     </p>
    43. 

  43. <p>
    44. 

  44.       Note: files that <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> reads in separate
    45. 

  45.       parser contexts, such as <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> and
    46. 

  46.       <code class="filename">bind.keys</code>, are not automatically read
    47. 

  47.       by <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span>.  Configuration
    48. 

  48.       errors in these files may cause <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to
    49. 

  49.       fail to run, even if <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span> was
    50. 

  50.       successful.  <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span> can be run
    51. 

  51.       on these files explicitly, however.
