Named DOES use /dev/random - it periodically opens & closes it. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux; X11; , en_US.UTF-8, en_US, en) Description of problem: The bind-chroot rpm creates: /var/named/chroot/dev/null /var/named/chroot/dev/random Neither of these dev files are needed. A: lsof -p $(pidof named) will show that neither /dev/null nor /dev/random are open. Removal of these files /var/named/chroot/dev/* files does not seem to impare named. Creation of /var/named/chroot/dev/ special files gives the impression that the /var file system cannot be mounted with the nodev option. The /var file system can be mounted with nodev (and should for security reasons). By removing these unnecessary dev files from the bind-chroot package, the /var filesystem can remain special device free. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-chroot-9.2.2-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install bind and bind-chroot 2.rm -rf /var/named/chroot/dev 3.service named start Actual Results: The bind daemon will run without any problem without the /var/named/chroot/dev files. Expected Results: If /var/named/chroot/dev was required, a problem with bind would have noticed. Additional info:
