Description Jason Vas Dias 2006-01-25 17:13:06 UTC

Description of problem:

Only on the ia64 platform, dns-keygen, a Red Hat utility to generate a new
hmac-md5 TSIG key, always returns a non-zero exit status. This does not occur
on the i386 or x86_64 or ppc64 platforms - weird.

dns-keygen is used during installation of the bind RPM to generate the rndc
key, and by the system-config-bind package. Luckily, the RPM installation
does not check the dns-keygen return status, but system-config-bind does,
so this bug disables system-config-bind key generation on the ia64 .

keygen.c was not returning any defined exit status - it now does.
