Linuxconf was segfaulting every time I ran it- at first right away, then only when I tried to run the server-tasks:domain-name-server menu item. Removing /usr/lib/linuxconf/modules/dnsconf.so.1.14.4 fixed the problem temporarily. Removing "statistics-interval" and "cleaning-interval" lines from named.conf fixed it permanently. Example named.conf that shows this problem: options { directory "/var/named"; statistics-interval 0; cleaning-interval 1440; }; zone "." { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "named.local"; };
I ran in to this bug, too. It happens when etc/named.conf is using the old (BIND v4) syntax. It stopped when I changed etc/named.conf to use the new (BIND v8) syntax. Perhaps dnsconf should complain about old-style syntax, rather than seg faulting.... ? - hh
I should note that "statistics-interval" and "cleaning-interval" are valid bind 8 syntax, and the example I give is a legal bind 8 named.conf. The directives that choke linuxconf aren't necessary but I like them because it reduces logfile clutter. Segfaulting on legal directives is dumb. I don't think this is Red Hat's problem, but I posted the bug in the hope the workaround would prove useful to others.
I just ran into something that may be related. My named.conf doesnt' have any references to statistics-interval or cleaning-interval, but I got segfaults until I renamed named.conf to foo, then they went away. When I renamed foo back to named.conf, linuxconf continued to work. I'd been using the same named.conf for several days without problems (I installed BIND just recently, actually).
*** Bug 4297 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** After manualy configuring bind, and changing other /etc files, such as resolve.conf, when linuxconf is run it core dumps. When the line module.list 1 dnsconf was removed from /etc/conf.linuxconf, it stopped (until a the next reboot when the line was added. That shits me:( )
This bug is fixed, for me anyway, by the new Linuxconf RPM listed in the errata page: linuxconf-1.16r1.3-1.i386.rpm Thanks, guys.
Thanks for the verification that it is fixed!
