Description Petr Menšík 2023-12-07 14:54:05 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2253459 +++

Several tools inside distribution works with DNS global servers. It contains list of root-servers.net, where one address recently has changed. It should be updated in all software using such list. Either built-in or explicit in configuration files, address of b.root-servers.net has changed.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check used hint address of b.root-servers.net
2. dig +short -x 199.9.14.201 -x 2001:500:200::b | grep -i ^b.root-servers.net
3. dig +short -x 170.247.170.2 -x 2801:1b8:10::b | grep -i ^b.root-servers.net
Actual Results:  
b.root-servers.net.	518400	IN	A	199.9.14.201
b.root-servers.net.	518400	IN	AAAA	2001:500:200::b


Expected Results:  
b.root-servers.net.	518400	IN	A	170.247.170.2
b.root-servers.net.	518400	IN	AAAA	2801:1b8:10::b


Authoritative servers list can be obtained from:
https://www.internic.net/domain/named.root

Or using command:
dig +tcp +norec @d.root-servers.net

Reverse addresses of old leads to: b-2017.b.root-servers.org.

$ dig +short -x 199.9.14.201 -x 2001:500:200::b 
b-2017.b.root-servers.org.
b-2017.b.root-servers.org.

$ dig +short -x 170.247.170.2 -x 2801:1b8:10::b | grep -i ^b.root-servers.net 
b.root-servers.net.
b.root-servers.net.

Comment 1 Aoife Moloney 2024-02-15 23:07:15 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2025-04-25 10:12:11 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2025-05-16 07:48:51 UTC
Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13.

Fedora Linux 40 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
