h2n tool

[Andris Kalnozols]

You are running a pretty old version of h2n and a version
of BIND that has known security defects.  An updated 
version of h2n is available at

  ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/h2n/h2n.tar.gz

If you choose to upgrade to the latest release of BIND 8,
download the following files:

  ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.2.5/bind-src.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.2.5/bind-doc.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.2.5/bind-contrib.tar.gz

The updated version of h2n can also be found in the last tar
archive in 'contrib/nutshell'.

h2n supports just one '-d' option per run.  Feel free to
e-mail me privately if you are still having difficulties.

> As I am first time trying this tool with Bind 8.2.2p5 on Solaris 8 .
> 
> I can this first time without any proablems.
> Manual says " Each time h2n is run, it generates the DNS files from scratch.
> Any changes you manually made to the DNS files are lost. "
> 
> WHen I restart the bind Server woth -HUP signal , I got
> " No default TTL set using SOA minimum instead" messages
> 
> simply because $TTL 1D is not there in each db.* file .
> 
> Now I added that mnually then it was fine .
> 
> Now when I run the h2n again
> h2n -f /applis/list/bind/config/options.dns
> Improper format SOA in db.clj.
> I give up ... sorry.
