Description Angelo 2004-08-01 16:20:37 UTC

Description of problem:
in /var/named/chroot/etc/, named.conf and rndc.key are not pointing to
/etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.key


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.2-12

How reproducible:
Ever

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls -l /var/named/chroot/etc/
  
Actual results:
Blank files

Expected results:
Hard links to /etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.key

Comment 1 Angelo 2004-08-02 12:37:17 UTC

I forgot to say that if the /etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.key as well
as the /var/named/ zone files aren't the same files on the chroot
environment, named can't be stopped and restarted because rndc isn't
working.

It can't even re-read the config files, if you want it do so without
stopping the service.

Another solution can be to put those files in the chroot environment
and then symlink those in /etc and /var/named, like this:

/etc/rndc.key -> /var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.key
/etc/named.conf -> /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
etc. etc.

Comment 2 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-02 20:14:27 UTC

This was fixed in bind-9.2.4rc6-3 :
the /var/named/chroot/etc/{named.conf,rndc.key} 
files were getting created as blank files;
they are now always copied from /etc .
Perhaps they should be hardlinks; but some people
might want different configs for a chroot environment
than for the non-chroot environment.
