[ale] DNS zone transfer problem

[sangell at nan.net (sangell at nan.net)]

I am having problems with setting up a secondary DNS server. I have gotten
the primary up and running fine. I have the secondary set up and when I
start the name daemon I can tell by the logs that it is trying to retrieve
the zone files from the master but I for each zone it says "permission
denied". I even added the "allow-zone" option in the master's named.conf
file but to no avail. Both servers are running RH 7.2 with Bind 9.1.3. I
have named.conf on master set up with zones entered like:

options {
     directory "/var/named" ;
};

zone "db.myzone.com" {
     type master;
     file "db.myzone";
     allow-transfer { x.x.x.x; };
};

and the slave zone like:

options {
     directory "/var/named" ;
};

zone "db.myzone.com" {
     type slave;
     file "db.myzone";
     masters { x.x.x.x; };
};


Any ideas guys? I am wondering if it is something inherent to RedHats
default configuration?
