Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
As the Ubuntu project has customized djbdns and its related / required packages, there needs to be documentation in the Ubuntu Server Guide detailing how to correctly set up and configure djbdns.
Guides found on the Internet that pre-date djbdns being officially packaged are confusing as the paths changed, userid's are created automatically, etc...
It is equally unacceptable to refer to the http://
I can understand and appreciate why Ubuntu made these changes, however set up documentation which is Ubuntu specific is needed.
I am just starting my third attempt to install / configure to suit our needs. Have had to purge all djbdns related packages twice now, try to get all of the configuration settings out of the first server. This is far more complicated than it needs to be... the process of making use of the official djbdns package.

I ended up writing my own docs here:
"HOW-TO: Basic installation of Daniel J. Bernstein's djbdns (TinyDNS) on Ubuntu Linux" www.lueckdatasy stems.com/ HOW-TO_ Basic_installat ion_of_ Daniel_ J_Bernstein_ djbdns_ TinyDNS_ on_Ubuntu_ Linux
