prefer to stick to doing things the way the distro I am using does things.
So, that being said, docs located here
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-bind-rndc.html
say:
I've not yet set up BIND on Tikanga. When I did it on CentOS4 and WBEL4,
it just happened that way. I didn't do anything special, and I didn't
read the docs:-)
Note
If you have installed the bind-chroot package, the BIND service will run
in the /var/named/chroot environment. All configuration files will be
moved there. As such, the rndc.conf file is located in
/var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.conf.
Note that since the rndc utility does not run in a chroot environment,
/etc/rndc.conf is a symlink to /var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.conf.
However, the only rndc.conf on the system is the sample in the
/usr/share/doc directory.
Since I'm relatively new to RHEL and RPM/YUM, I just want to make sure
that either
a) I'm not missing some other step/package that would actually place
this file there
or
b) if I put my own in place it won't get whacked by some future upgrade
to one of the bind packages.
Like Debian, RH is good at not whacking config files. For any package,
you can find out what the config files are using the rpm command.
Unlike Debian, RH doesn't keep asking inane questions about what to do
with changed configuration files. It automatically saves the old one, or
saves the new one under a different name:
16:30 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate rpmsave
/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf.rpmsave
/etc/named.rfc1912.zones.rpmsave
08:21 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate rpmnew
08:21 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Currently installed bind-related packages are:
bind-utils-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
bind-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
bind-chroot-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
bind-libs-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5
system-config-bind-4.0.3-2.el5
Presumably, you plan on testing this system before placing it in
production? I suggest you take a note of your concerns as you go, and
then verify that those are all in the mind when you can.
