bind 8.2.2-P5 forced querylog when queries-category is defined

[Daniel Roesen]

Hi,

I noticed when having a channel defined for the category "queries",
querylogging is automatically switched on. When digging the source
I found the following code in src/bin/named/ns_config.c:

        /*
         * Special case for query-log, so we can co-exist with the command
         * line option and SIGWINCH.
         */
        if (log_category_is_active(lc, ns_log_queries))
                qrylog = 1;

So now it's clear that it's not a bug but the question remains. WHY
does it do that. I see no reason from the other code that this is
necessary. What am I missing? What happens if I just throw that out?


best regards,
Daniel
