bind 8.2.3-REL is the latest and greatest of the bind 8.x tree...
You can install this from the ports /usr/ports/net/bind8
and to get it to install over the old version instead of as
a local package you need to pass a few things to make...
This was on the freebsd diary a little while ago:
# cd /usr/ports/net/bind8
# make PREFIX=/usr PIDDIR=/var/run DESTETC=/etc/namedb
DESTEXEC=/usr/libexec DESTRUN=/var/run DESTSBIN=/usr/sbin
DESTHELP=/usr/share/misc
# killall named
# make PREFIX=/usr PIDDIR=/var/run DESTETC=/etc/namedb
DESTEXEC=/usr/libexec DESTRUN=/var/run DESTSBIN=/usr/sbin
DESTHELP=/usr/share/misc install
then test it:
# /usr/sbin/named -v
named 8.2.3-REL blah blah blah...
Ok its sweet, so start it:
first check your settings-> # grep named /etc/defaults/rc.conf
# grep named /etc/rc.conf
If its default you will probably just need to start it:
# /usr/sbin/named
add any flags on the end... and you should be all sweet against
the worm/crash bugs...
But check your logs to make sure the right version is running :)
If you installed a bind from the ports before you should remove it
before installing the new one... Eg. # pkg_info | grep bind
then # pkg_delete bind-8.x.x
If you are in production I wouldnt wast time with bind9 right now...
Just get the fixed bind8 :)
Good luck!
Kal.
