NetworrkManager causes bind to recursively forward to itself
Last modified: 2008-06-16 21:54:05 EDT
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -q NetworkManager bind NetworkManager-0.6.5-7.fc7 bind-9.4.1-6.1.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Stop the NetworkManeger, NetworkManagerDispatcher and named services Configure a network interface with static ip. 2. Configure a network interface with a statis ip address (no dhcp). 3. Configure named with a number of local zones, and set some forwarders (see attached named.conf) 4. Enter "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in /etc/resolv.conf 5. start named. Works as expected. In particular, sudo namedGetForwarders produces valid forwarders 1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA forward only 192.168.1.254 telin forward only 192.168.1.254 . forward only 195.130.129.162 195.130.130.162 157.193.40.42 157.193.40.37 6. start NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher services. resolv.conf still contains 127.0.0.1 as the only nameserver (which is fine in this case), but the forwarding hosts have been messed up. sudo namedGetForwarders . 127.0.0.1 7. lookup a host. -> "connection timed out; no servers could be reached" Second attempt works, but etherape shows a very large number of connections to (apparently) nameservers including k.root-servers.net 8. After adding the forwarders manually, dns works again sudo /usr/sbin/namedSetForwarders . 195.130.129.162 195.130.130.162 157.193.40.42 157.193.40.37 method return sender=:1.107 -> dest=:1.112 uint32 0 Actual results: bind seems to recursively query itself. When that fails it contacts nameservers it should not connect to (I think). Expected results: Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 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 please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 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 please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
