Hi there, I've been a happy djbdns+tinydns user for many, many years. I want to keep using it, so answers of the form "bletch! Use ISC BIND the way BSD intended" will be ignored :-)
Having said that, one annoying consequence of my transition some time ago to using ntpd, rather than just setting the clock once-off with ntpdate as I used to, is that the /etc/rc.d mechanism starts ntpd before /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh starts svscan, which starts /services/dnscache. That wouldn't matter if ntpd was a bit sensible and just kept trying to find its nomminated servers, but it gives up and just sits there not synchronising time from any reference. So I have to remember to manually "/etc/rc.d/ntpd restart" every time I reboot. So: does anyone know how to modify the boot-time order so that svscan starts at (or before) the point in the boot cycle where BIND would, on other systems? I suspect that it should be possible by changing the PROVIDE: in svscan.sh to include one of the things REQUIRE:'d by ntpd. Or perhaps the REQUIRE: LOGIN in svscan.sh is incompatible with the BEFORE: LOGIN in ntpd? Has any other user of dnscache encountered and solved this problem?
