I am trying to convert an old named.boot file to named.conf using the
'named-bootconf' program but cannot get it to work. It just seems to hang
no matter what arguments I give it. I've tried on several Solaris versions
and get the same problem each time. Any ideas ?

try running truss when you do the convert. Anything jump out at you?

Apologies if this is a grandmother's eggs suggestion, but it doesn't
read from standard input and you're not feeding it a file, does it? It
hasn't hung; it's waiting for input...

Not sure here but thanks for the suggestions. Looks like a corruption as it
works on my old Solaris 2.6 machine but not on the newer ones.
