I've been working on setting up named in a sandbox. I got some
helpful hints here where I couldn't quite understand the handbook
(yes, I did read it, that doesn't necessarily mean I understood it :).
Advertising
Anyway, I followed the handbook steps for sandboxing named exactly -
meaning I didn't even retype the commands, but copied them by mouse
from the handbook page. This part is giving me some trouble:
# Symlink /var/run/ndc to /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc:
# ln -sf /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc /var/run/ndc
Note: This simply avoids having to specify the -c option to ndc(8)
every time you run it. Since the contents of /var/run are deleted on
boot, if this is something that you find useful you may wish to add
this command to root's crontab, making use of the @reboot option. See
crontab(5) for more information regarding this.
What are the chances this is wrong? After completing the section, I
typed 'ndc start' at the root prompt, and got the following:
# ndc start
ndc: error: name server has not started (yet?)
So I tried to stop it:
# ndc stop
ndc: error: ctl_client: evConnect(fd 3): No such file or directory
ndc: error: cannot connect to command channel (/var/run/ndc)
And this didn't even stop named. Something had to be wrong. I did a
little more reading, and it looked to me like that command should have
been the other way around. So I tried the following:
# rm /var/run/ndc
# ln -s /var/run/ndc /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc
# ndc start
new pid is 42557
then, just to be sure:
# ndc stop
and named did quit.
Did I stumble on a typo in the handbook? And if so, did I also
stumble on the CORRECT way to do it?
And, finally, once I got named started in this manner, I got the
following message in the /var/log/messages:
Jan 28 10:41:04 keyslapper named[42779]: check_hints: A records for
J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 do not match hint records
Doing a lookup, host gave 192.58.128.30 as the correct IP, but
named.root had 198.41.0.10. When I changed named.root and restarted
named, the message went away. Anyone else ever have this kind of
problem?
TIA
