#12649: BIND-9.14.5 rndc-confgen: The -r option has been deprecated.
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: jacksparrow | Owner: blfs-book
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: 9.1
Component: BOOK | Version: SVN
Severity: major | Keywords: 9.0 bind-9.14.5 bind rndc-confgen
| -r deprecated empty file key
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Setting up the rndc.conf file for Bind configuration errors out after
pasting the following from the 9.0 BLFS book:
{{{
rndc-confgen -r /dev/urandom -b 512 > /etc/rndc.conf &&
sed '/conf/d;/^#/!d;s:^# ::' /etc/rndc.conf > /srv/named/etc/named.conf
}}}
'''rndc-confgen: The -r option has been deprecated.'''
Result:[[BR]]
Empty initial rndc.conf file and subsequently empty named.conf.
Change to:
{{{
rndc-confgen -a -b 512 -t /srv/named
}}}
'''wrote key file "/etc/rndc.key"[[BR]]
wrote key file "/srv/named/etc/rndc.key"'''
The -a option as per the man page:[[BR]]
Do automatic rndc configuration. This creates a file rndc.key in /etc (or
whatever sysconfdir was specified as when BIND was built) that is read by
both rndc and named on startup. The rndc.key file defines a default
command channel and authentication key allowing rndc to communicate with
named on the local host with no further configuration.
The -t option as per the man page:[[BR]]
Used with the -a option to specify a directory where named will run
chrooted. An additional copy of the rndc.key will be written relative to
this directory so that it will be found by the chrooted named.
Caveats:[[BR]]
First time setting up this service on fresh 9.0 LFS system.
Not tested at this time since machine is segregated from Internet,
however, all indicators suggest it is working normally no error messages.
Deviations from Book:[[BR]]
Instead of
{{{
pip3 install ply
}}}
Ran from file:
{{{
wget http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/ply-3.11.tar.gz
pip3 install ply-3.11.tar.gz
}}}
'''Processing ./ply-3.11.tar.gz
Installing collected packages: ply
Running setup.py install for ply ... done
Successfully installed ply-3.11n'''
Otherwise the Chapter was followed exactly.
Seems to apply to both systemd or initv versions of book.[[BR]]
Maybe missing some step? Cause it sure is odd that I'm finding this now
and no one has used Bind up to now?
Searched tickets and wiki nothing found.
Maybe search mail lists?
This is my first ticket. :)
