After a recent OI update and reboot, I found that the nameserver no
longer ran. The service log showed:
dns-server: Executing: /usr/sbin/named -u named in '/root'
dns-server : start failed! Check syslog for further information.
The messages log said:
Aug 2 19:29:17 qtpie named[1937]: [ID 873579 daemon.error] the working
directory is not writable
Aug 2 19:29:17 qtpie named[1937]: [ID 873579 daemon.crit] loading
configuration: permission denied
Aug 2 19:29:17 qtpie named[1937]: [ID 873579 daemon.crit] exiting (due to
fatal error)
The service is: svc:/network/dns/server:default . It's bind version
9.16.0, if that matters.
My configuration file is /etc/named.conf, the default, with zone files
in /var/named . Apparently, it was attempting to run named as user
named, starting in /root . named's home directory, /var/chroot/named,
does not exist. Creating that directory did not help.
I had to delete the options/user property value from the service to
get it to work. Now it runs as root, without the `-u named' option.
This is not ideal. Are any of you running named in the default
configuration? How did you accomplish this?
