Hello, I'm running DHCP + dynamic DNS here on my home LAN and I've noticed a problem that needs a manual fix every time the DNS machine gets rebooted. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. :) My firewall/gateway machine runs FreeBSD-5.4-RELEASE of some patchlevel. It uses ISC DHCPD from ports to update my DNS server, another FreeBSD machine (now running 6.0-RELEASE) with new entries when machines register with the DHCP server. The problem arises because by default named runs -u bind, however /var/named/etc/namedb/master is owned by root. I believe this is caused by /etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist, since I'm running bind chrooted (the default setup). When the DNS machine reboots, I have to manually chown /var/named/etc/namedb/master (or /etc/namedb/master) to bind before updates will continue, otherwise I see errors such as named[297]: dumping master file: master/tmp-QQ2UU6pWaZ: open: permission denied Is there any good workaround for this issue? I'd like to keep bind running as the bind user as well as keep bind chrooted if possible. I know I could edit the mtree file on my machine, but that seems somewhat kludgy to me. Thanks for any help/advice you can give me, Josh -- Josh Tolbert hemi@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ If your sysadmin's not being fascist, you're paying him too much. --Sam Greenfield
