Description Dave Miller 2002-08-09 22:29:37 UTC
Description of Problem:
A security update for BIND was issued this morning.  Upon installing it, named
will no longer start.  The error message given when you try to start is is:

# /sbin/service named start
Starting named: named: -u not supported on Linux kernels older than 2.3.99-pre3
or 2.2.18 when using threads

We currently have kernel 2.2.16-22
Running named as root is not exactly a palatable idea.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.2.1-0.70.2.i386.rpm


Additional Information:

This could easily be fixed by making the rpm file have a dependency on
kernel-2.2.18, which would clue people that they're missing an update before
they lose their nameserver.  Or at a minimum provide some kind of output warning
you that the startup script needs to be modified or it won't run if the kernel
is too old.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2003-01-24 21:31:56 UTC
Added the requires line

fixed in dhcp-3.0pl1-18

Comment 2 Dave Miller 2003-01-25 02:10:12 UTC
sorry for being nitpicky here, but what does dhcpd have to do with bind?
