Description of problem: bind fails to start with the following error: view.c:1196: REQUIRE(keyp != ((void *)0) && *keyp == ((void *)0)) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.4.1-P1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to start bind after having configured tsig keys Actual results: bind fails to start Expected results: bind should start and initiate a transfer if necessary Additional info: Apparently, this is know, but it is critical for anyone who uses keys to transfer data between master/slave servers. Here is a link to what I found on this: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.protocols.dns.bind/browse_thread/thread/99dc9ae77b4e0d49/0b49aaa959a9eada
Yes, I know about this problem but I think we could wait to 9.4.2 when noone reports it. Update will be avaliable very soon (also on http://people.redhat.com/atkac/bind/ ) Adam
Thanks for the update. When you say "we could wait"... How long do you anticipate? I have a backup server in a remote location that depends on these updates from the master. Now that network is non-functional in terms of name resolution. If the wait will be more than a day, what are the alternatives that I can implement for zone transfers in the mean time? Would switching to IP based transfers work? Also, if I needed to rool-my-own from the src rpm, would I need to specify any modifyers to the rpmbuild command, or could I just patch using the patch supplied in the above link and do an rpmbuild without modifiers/conditionals to mimic the default fedora install of bind? Again, thanks for your help.
With "we could wait" I though when noone reports this problem that means that nobody uses TSIGs so I don't have to backport patch :) But now, when report exists I'm going to release it. Update will be avaliable tomorrow Adam
Thanks a lot. How do people do transfers then? Am I using an old method or something?
People often think that Internet is security so do transfers without any protection because they don't want waste time with correct setup :) Your method is recommended and modern
thanks. glad to hear i'm doing something right :) anyway, your .8 release works (i rolled my own rpm) so test #1 is good! i appreciate the quick replies.
bind-9.4.1-8.P1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
