Error: isc_lex_gettoken() failed: I/O error

[Jeff Lightner]

Maybe if you do something like paste the line and pipe it through "cat
-v" you can see what special characters are being embedded by SecureCRT.

This by the way is why we tell our DBAs that use something other than
PuTTY that we won't help them unless it fails in PuTTY also.

[replying to myself is bad form, I know]

The command we are running is:

root at dnsbox:/var/named/var/named# named-checkzone -w /var/named
test.domain var/named/master/test.domain

So we did some more testing - if I type the command in, it works.

If I paste it into SecureCRT it fails. 

If I paste it in to PuTTY it works (except putty translates the - into a
. for some reason)

I can't imagine what SecureCRT is doing that would cause named-checkzone
to burst a blood vessel ... I'm guessing some special character is being
pasted by SecureCRT, but BIND isn't playing nice with it.

At any rate, now you know.  SecureCRT (tty = vt100) and bind don't play
nice.

Cheers,

Todd.

While running a checkzone, one of my users is getting this error:

dns_master_load: /var/named/var/named:1: isc_lex_gettoken() failed: I/O
error
dns_master_load: /var/named/var/named:1: I/O error


Google isn't helping me too much.

We're thinking maybe it's terminal related - a user has had success
using an xterm, but me and others are using SecureCRT and have problems.


Can anyone say what this error actually means?  We're a little stumped
at what's going on.

Thanks!

Todd.
