These are the configuration options i've used to compile it.
# sh configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--mandir=/usr/local/man --disable-threads
I am getting this error message, I suspect this is the reason it cannot
serve requests, although i'm not sure if this means it cannot create
/var/run/ndc or that there is another issue lurking, like it's Redhat 7
related.
# named-checkconf
type 'unix' control channels are not implemented
named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named" ;
listen-on {
1.2.3.4;
127.0.0.1;
};
listen-on port 53 { any; };
auth-nxdomain yes; // always set AA on NXDOMAIN.
};
controls {
unix "/var/run/ndc" perm 0600 owner 25 group 25;
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { localkey; };
};
key localkey {
algorithm hmac-md5;
// secret "some-base-64-string-also-in-rndc.conf";
secret "blahblahblahetc";
};
etc etc
# named -d 8 -u named fires off named but it won't serve and requests on the
ip, let's say 1.2.3.4, but by doing a nslookup - 127.0.0.1 I can resolve
addresses.
named 27887 0.5 0.2 4100 2688 ? S 22:41 0:00 named -d 8
-u named
Another oddity is that this command gives me this message.
# rndc start
rndc: /etc/rndc.conf: already exists
/etc/rndc.conf
options {
default-server 127.0.0.1;
default-server 1.2.3.4;
default-key "localkey";
};
server localhost {
key "localkey";
};
key "localkey" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "blahblahblahetc";
};
I've spent a while searching lists and suchlife, it would be nice to
see DNS and BIND updated for version 9.
