All:
On Friday, give or take, an updated bind9 package was installed on my
DNS server / firewall, which is a Sun Ultra 10 running unstable.
The version is:
Preparing to replace bind9 1:9.4.2-10 (using
.../bind9_1%3a9.5.0.dfsg-1_sparc.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement bind9 ...
After installation, the daemon tries to start, but prints out:
Starting domain name service...: bindnamed: syscall(capset) failed:
Invalid argument: please ensure that the capset kernel module is
loaded. see insmod(8)
There doesn't appear to be a "capset" module. I found a comment from my
searching about a "capability" module, but that module does not appear
to be available.
As part of the installation, a new copy of
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named was installed. I don't know what, if
anything, that has to do with it, although, I see several lines with
"capability" in them. Commenting those lines has made no difference.
I've been unable to figure out the version string to revert to version
9.4.2-10 to get the previous behavior, although, I'm not sure that was
the previous version.
Can someone advise about:
1) Is this behavior as expected from the new bind9 on sparc?
2) How do I get the previous behavior back? I've been unable to get the
previous version of the package installed.
For immediate relief, I'm going back to try djbdns.... Well, no relief
found. I find no coherent instructions for setting up djbdns that seems
to work. The dnsqr query always fails with "connection refused".
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Dave
