Subject:   chroot implementation of bind and kea
Message-ID:  <DB6PR1001MB1238A4081466628B372B5176BB2B0@DB6PR1001MB1238.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

Dear net mailing list,

At the moment BINDS=92s default chroot behavior is to move all necessary fi=
les to a directory specified in rc.conf as named_chrootdir.
Afterwards the RC script creates a symlink from /usr/local/etc/namedb/ to t=
he named_chrootdir so that config files etc can still be modified from /usr=
/local/etc/ as that is where they belong.
However, I find the chroot implementation of isc-dhcpd better. That is, ins=
tead of creating a symlink, copying the files over each time the program is=
 (re)started.
This has the additional benefit that if files in the chroot are compromised=
 they get overwritten by the originals on service restart. Could this be im=
plemented for BIND as well?
Another little question regarding chroot, is it possible to make net/kea ch=
rootable? There are currently no such options in the kea rc script.

With regards,
Dries
