I am not fussed if the dns-sec stuff doesn't work in the short term. 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.
