Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am writing to ask your help with a DNS problem.
I am writing here rather than questions because this list has shown a
lot of interest and help for DNS operational problems like this.
After an upgrade from an old 4.3-STABLE to 4.5-RELEASE-p3, bind can no
longer set the number of open files to the system limit.
Instead on the problem boxes, I see the following after restarting bind.
Apr 26 12:38:00 wins named[22746]: reloading nameserver
Apr 26 12:38:00 wins named[22746]: setrlimit(max number of open files):
Operation not permitted
Apr 26 12:38:00 wins named[22746]: Ready to answer queries.
On other words, it seems highly unlikely that replication will work.
I have added an entry for BIND to login.conf and remade the
login database (with cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf )
bind:\
:tc=default:
without any success.
BIND is running in a sandbox (started with named -u bind -g bind)
Do I need to explicity add the bind class to the password file ?
Your advice is very welcome.
Thank you,
Yours sincerely.

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
