Bug 105593

I believe this is caused because the chroot environment was installed before the
cacheing nameserver.  

Named does not include an /etc/named.conf file.  So if you install bind,
bind-chroot and then install cacheing nameserver the cacheing nameserver files
will not be placed in the chroot environment.  

The bug should be that cacheing nameserver needs to check if bind is chroot and
install to the chroot directory.

Dan

Converted cacheing nameserver to copy its files into the chroot directory if it
exists.

Fixed in caching-nameserver-7_2-8

I tried removing the files from the chroot, then rpm -U
caching-namesever-7.2-8.noarch.rpm, and the files were still missing from the
chroot.

I see that the code that should copy the conf files to $ROOTDIR is in place, but
it definitely doesn't get run.  The only piece I don't understand (being
clueless in terms of rpm building) is:

if [ $1 = 0 ];

this seems wrong for a %postinstall, that should have != 0.  = 0 would be
appropriate for post-uninstall, to clean up.

Yes I didn't fully understand this either.  After further experimentation this
indicates how many times a package has been installed.  So the first time it
would be 1 not 0.  It is only 0 on an uninstall.

Fixed in caching-nameserver-7.2-9

*almost* there.  There's a cut&pasto here:

cp -f /var/named/named.localhost.zone $ROOTDIR/var/named

It shoudl be /var/named/localhost.zone, not /var/named/named.localhost.zone.

Fixed caching-nameserver-7.2-10

Confirmed, thanks.

After doing a clean reinstall of bind-9.2.2.P3-9.i386.rpm,
bind-chroot-9.2.2.P3-9.i386.rpm, bind-utils-9.2.2.P3-9.i386.rpm,
redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-18.noarch.rpm, and
caching-nameserver-7.2-10.noarch.rpm on a PC running Fedora Core 1, I
find that named.conf, named.custom, and rndc.key are put in /etc, not
/var/named/chroot/etc; and localhost.zone, named.ca, and named.local
are put in /var/named, not /var/named/chroot/var/named (see below).
Maybe this bug should be reopened? Thanks!

I too think that thsi si still a bug.

I'm running:
# rpm -qa|grep bind
bind-9.2.2.P3-9
bind-chroot-9.2.2.P3-9
bind-utils-9.2.2.P3-9
ypbind-1.12-3
redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-18


I too was missing the essential .zone files from the /var/named/chroot/var/named/ directory.

Additionally, my /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf was 0 bytes.  The chroot'd environment is incomplete and does not.  

Anyone else care to verify?
