--Sig_/QVPucS.hlSO6Y.ENQ=JvXpC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have running a CURRENT box (running most recent sources, recompiling world at least four times a week) acting as a local MASTER DNS server for my private LAN at home. The configuration is simple, the setup is stored in /etc/namedb/named.conf. /etc/namedb is effectively a link to /var/named/etc/namedb. I can reproduceable truncate the link in /etc/ to be NIL by typing simply "reboot" when rebooting the box or, in some cases, while crashing (CURRENT has sometimes flaws ...) in case, the service "named" has already been started. This seems strange. The problem is easily solvable if I restore the link, but it is very bad on remotely located boxes if this happens there. Isn't /var considered a "volatile" place? I would expect having everything in /etc/ and then symbolically linked to somewhere else, like /var/named/etc. How does the link get lost during a simple "reboot"?=20 Regards, Oliver --Sig_/QVPucS.hlSO6Y.ENQ=JvXpC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSD0QtAAoJEOgBcD7A/5N8zxsH/REUvZUsTpusOw6HeFSyWSGm UMn7z0matGiyRS0xAGJ8bVAgHql1POFlEsDZ1zPp2St4bSCbkjI+QzeBBUCDqxX6 /eJCOAcJTAyIqi7Vtzk03aZ7XoDy8qczg9O5vjeKE+n48kxXKmKfosjsMH6PfHDD Cs/S0/hvxj8iEiBeDhOdmaMXBNKj9iMXIPcEy6KggHaCcxxpfv86M55SMU87Y18k o5MSungZ/d3WkniYksPgPIM8BOuXDssJbTqerIfr/Q6T6JLRpfpdLBGRgwQdma5Z OW5Qk93K7URwY2rxFu5vcw25yAfDrWmv/pkYgBSNdc8n1wowfsbkNIHgfOnTWkU= =n3NX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/QVPucS.hlSO6Y.ENQ=JvXpC--
