From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20050104 Red Hat/1.4.3-3.0.7 Description of problem: redhat-config-bind crashes on startup. When run from the command line: server# redhat-config-bind Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/redhat-config-bind", line 95, in ? cfg = ConfNamed.ConfNamed("/etc/named.conf",ROOTDIR) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-bind/ConfNamed.py", line 324, in __init__ current[-1].setOpt(val[0],join(val[1:],' ')) IndexError: list index out of range Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-14.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch redhat-config-bind 2. 3. Actual Results: Crashes with the above errors. Expected Results: Should not crash. Additional info:
Yes, redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-14.2 has many such problems. Please download the latest version, system-config-bind-4.0.0-4, from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/system-config-bind which does NOT have this problem. system-config-bind-4.0.0-4 is being readied for inclusion in RHEL-4-U2 (I'm just completing the user guide and manual at the moment, and it lacks non-English locale translations currently) and will be making its way through our QA process - but it does at least work better than redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-14.2 .
Jason, On my RHEL-3-U4 Box: server# system-config-bind Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-bind", line 29, in ? import Debug File "/usr/sbin/../share/system-config-bind/Debug.py", line 9, in ? import datetime ImportError: No module named datetime server# I suspect this is a dependancy issue of some kind?
OK, it seems to work on a RHEL-4 box.
A version which fixes these problems, redhat-config-bind-4.0.0-16, is now submitted to RHEL-3 and should be in RHEL-3-U6 . Meanwhile, it can be downloaded from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/redhat-config-bind
Still causes me grief (also I notice no icon in the menu): server# redhat-config-bind Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/redhat-config-bind", line 204, in ?

Thanks for reporting this problem - it has exposed an error in the code that is checking for undefined ACLs . BIND versions < 9.3.1 have a named-checkconf that does not report errors where an undefined ACL is referenced, yet these prevent named from running (ISC bug #13101), so r-c-b tries to detect and warn the user about them. However, it seems the checking was getting the case insensitivity wrong, so if you had named an ACL with uppercase letters, this was not checked correctly :( . It also wasn't warning for undefined ACLs in "controls inet ... allow { ... }" but would exit with an error. So either you had referenced an undefined ACL in your controls allow { ... } ACL, or an ACL with uppercase letters. This is now fixed with redhat-config-bind-4.0.0-17: it now performs the undefined ACL check case-insensitively, and will exit with a GUI error dialog if a genuinely undefined ACL is reference in a controls "allow" ACL . Please try out the new version, available from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/redhat-config-bind
New version "works" in that it doesn't crash, but it looks like it isn't processing any "include" statements, would that be right? I have the following code: ... include "/etc/rndc.key"; ... controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; }; }; ... On launch I get the error: named.conf "controls" statement contains a reference to undefined ACL "rndckey". However if I paste the contents of the include file in named.conf it starts OK. As the rndc command works I would guess the file is getting included correctly by the bind package, but not by redhat-config.bind.
This is very strange - I can't reproduce the last problem - I have exactly the same in my named.conf: include "/etc/rndc.key"; controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; }; }; Where my rndc.key file contains: key "rndckey" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "RXKDbL4YU1pYv0djmAhqXcpM9rnataxk8BVaVBDaoultmOWLL2k9LboIeuu0"; }; redhat-config-bind starts up fine and displays the "rndckey" key record OK in the GUI . Do your rndc.key file contents look any different (aside from the "secret") ? Yes, redhat-config-bind DOES process include statements OK. But, as named does, it prefixes any path given in "include"s with the chroot directory - do you have $ROOTDIR defined in /etc/sysconfig/named ? If so, /etc/rndc.key should be a link to $ROOTDIR/etc/rndc.key - I've verified that if $ROOTDIR is defined, redhat-config-bind loads $ROOTDIR/etc/rndc.key regardless of whether the link exists or not. If there was a problem reading an include file, you'd get a dialog stating "Initialisation Error: /etc/named.conf:...: open: /etc/rndc.key: file not found " . I've verified this works too. Are you sure you have ONLY redhat-config-bind-4.0.0-17 installed ? Try # rpm -e redhat-config-bind; rpm -ivh redhat-config-bind-4.0.0-17.noarch.rpm Does the problem persist after this ? (If so, this could be an RPM upgrade problem). I've also verified that different spellings of the include directive also work: ' InCludE "rndc.key" ; ' works for me too. So I'm a bit at a loss to explain this problem. If possible, please tar up and email me all your named conf files - I'll ensure they remain confidential : # . /etc/sysconfig/named # tar -cpf - $ROOTDIR{/etc/named.conf,/etc/rndc*,/var/named} | gzip > /tmp/named.tar.gz and email the named.tar.gz file to jvdias@redhat.com - thank you!
Jason, I am also "ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot" and /etc/rndc.key is a link to /var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.key. Thus I've sent you the whole /var/named structure. If you need anything else pls let me know.
Many thanks for the information - it exposed the bug, which was a problem when a non "{}" named.conf entity was the FIRST entry in named.conf. This is now fixed with redhat-config-bind-4.0.0-18, available at: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/redhat-config-bind . I've found now problems with this version so far - please try it out and let me know of any issues. Thank you, Jason.
Jason, seems to work fine. I intend to play and explore with it over the weekend..... after backing up the hand crafted files :) I'll report the outcome later. Please note there is still no icon inserted in the menu structure. Very minor cosmetic issue, but its the only entry in "System Settings:Server Settings" without one. My FC3 box has an icon (though its a bit weird having a black rather than transparent background). Still using that icon would be better than nothing while a better icon is created (just make the background transparent). Thank you for your speedy attention to these start-up issues, it is much appreciated.
