I'm running the BIND 4.9.7 that ships with OpenBSD 2.6 and I can't seem
to get it to listen on my internal (192.x.x.x) network, it has no
problem on my external (24.x.x.x). I'm using the -u option to run it as
the user named and according to the docs..
<snip src="named man page">
-u Specifies the user the server should run as after
it initializes. The value specified may be either
a username or a numeric user ID. If the -g flag is
not specified, then the group ID used will be the
primary group of the user specified (initgroups()
is called, so all of the user's groups will be
available to the server).
Note: normally, named will rescan the active Ether-
net interfaces when it receives SIGHUP. Use of the
-u option makes this impossible since the default
port that named listens on is a reserved port that
only the superuser may bind to.
</snip>
...it seems that if I use the -u option it does rescan the active
interfaces.
Note that named drops no error messages regarding this.
Anybody have any suggestions?
-Joe
