Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to be better about more incremental updates
so here is a first whack.  This new version of TrinityOS
now supports Bind9 in addition to various errata, etc.

Also, if anyone is interested to doing final beta testing,
I have a new single-interface NON-MASQ enabled IPCHAINS
firewall ruleset.  This ruleset is moving towards the
multi-interface ruleset with split files, etc.

PS.  Yes, I AM working on the IPTABLES firewall ruleset
      but I want to get the final IPCHAINS version out
      first.

PPS.  567 users.. please continue to push the word of
       TrinityOS.  The more people use best practice
       security (best as I know of at least), the safer
       the net will be for all of us.  That and more
       errata reports and feature requests means better
       versions of TrinityOS!  :)

I   03/07/01    Doh!  Updated all the TrinityOS-security.tgz URLs to
     * Sent      point to .tar.gz files.
       Update *   - Thanks to Mark Rushing for catching this

N               Moved all ChangeLOG updates older than 10/15/01 to the
                    TrinityOS-old-updates.wri file

N               Moved all IPCHAINS rc.firewall errata older than 3.72
                    to the TrinityOS-old-updates.wri file

G               Updated the ISC Bind versions and URLs
                 [Section 5]


I               Updated the IPCHAINS rc.firewall ruleset to 3.83d
                 #     - Fixed a typo (stray #) where the RFC1918
                 #       10.x.x.x network was NOT being filtered in
                 #       the OUTPUT section
                 [Section 10]

G               Updated the DNS section to include CHROOTed and Split
                 Bind 9.1.0

                 - Updated the intro text for Section 24 for clarity,
                   cleaned up some formatting issues, removed pricing
                   info for registering domain names (I've seen
                   registrars offering from $14.95 to $45/yr).
                 - Added additional methods on how to figure out what
                   version of Bind is running
                 - Updated the minimum secure version of Bind to 8.9.3
                 - Removed ALL older BIND information to the
                   TrinityOS-old-configs.txt files
                 - Changed from explicting moving named and named-xfer
                   binaries into the CHROOTed jails to copying named*.
                   The reason for this is that named-xfer no longer
                   exists in Bind9 but there are two new files.  This
                   way is a little more generic.
                 - One of the changes from Bind8 to Bind9 is that the
                   TYPE record in the named.conf file must now be the
                   FIRST line.
                 - Changed the filename 192.168.0.db to be
                   acme123-int.com.db since it really was a FORWARD zone
                   file and not a reverse

                 * Updated the TrinityOS-security script to reflect all
                   of these changes as well as cleaned up the chapter
                   numbers, etc.
                 [Section 24]

-----------------

I   02/18/01    Made another fix to the root-hints-update script
                 # v2.4 - Updated the dig info lookup from ns.internic.net
                 #        to a.root-servers.net
                 [Section 24]

----------------

----------------

G   02/14/01    Made some fixed to the root-hints-update script for
                 DNS:
                 # v2.3 - Updated the initial CD into one of the real
                 #        CHROOTed dirs vs. /var/named.  The old script
                 #        was also leaving a stray NEW file in the EXT
                 #        directory.  Because of all this, the email
                 #        notification would show an old root.hints
                 #        file though DNS would have the correct
                 #        updated file.
                 Thanks to Jehan Bing for this errata.

N               Moved over the root-hints-update script to the automatic
                 extraction from HTML (no more manual file sync'ing
                 [Section 24]
