Description Richard Fearn 2007-12-04 21:54:17 UTC

Description of problem:

caching-nameserver 9.4.2-1 supplies an out-of-date root name servers file with
the old IP address for L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.

The update notification for bind-9.4.2-1.fc7 is here:

 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2007-December/msg00033.html

It says that the IP address was changed in 9.4.2-0.4.1.rc1 ("new
L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET address").

The new 9.4.2-1 package can be downloaded from here:

 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/i386/caching-nameserver-9.4.2-1.fc7.i386.rpm

It has the old /var/named/named.ca file, containing the wrong IP address.

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

caching-nameserver-9.4.2-1.fc7

How reproducible:

Always - /var/named/named.ca is wrong

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update to caching-nameserver-9.4.2-1.fc7
  
Actual results:

IP address for L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET in /var/named/named.ca is 198.32.64.12

Expected results:

IP address should be 199.7.83.42, as per:

  http://marc.info/?l=bind-announce&m=119404092426633&w=2

Additional info:

BIND has built-in root hints, so a separate root hints file (like
/var/named/named.ca) isn't strictly required. However, the caching-nameserver
example configuration (/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf) includes the root
hints file, and the sample named.conf file supplied with bind also says it
should be included, so it would be good if the Fedora-supplied hints file was
up-to-date. With the wrong IP address, "missing from hints" and "extra record in
hints" messages are logged to /var/log/messages.

Comment 1 Adam Tkac 2007-12-05 12:11:31 UTC

Thanks for your report. I'm not sure why I forgot update named.ca file because
that commit should update it :( Now it is really commited but update will wait
to more serious issue.
