Hello,
while building an embedded slave DNS I recognized that running named out
of the box with VARMFS enabled would fail.
Now I could easily fix it for my device only, but I think it's better to
solve it upstream.
VARMFS=Yes is a standard option, likewise named_enable.
Short description of the problem:
When rc detects non-writabel /var or VARMFS is set to yes, a new /var
tree gets populated. This comes without config, hint file and likewise
for /var/named/namedb, but /etc/namedb is a symlink to /var/named/namedb.
rc.d/named could easily be supplemented with the neccessary checks, but
we don't have the needed files outside of /var.
My idea is to create a namedb directory in /usr/share (like there's one
for sendmail) with duplicate entries of src/etc/namedb
Unfortunately I couldn't find out where FILESDIR is processed in the bsd
build stages.
If the idea is plausable, how do I best install /usr/share/namedb?
src/etc/namedb is entered at DISTRIBUTION target, right?
Id highly appreciate if somebody who's familar with the build stages
could give me some hints.
Thanks,
-Harry
P.S.: named_conf definitions in rc.conf get lost. Here's the patch:
