Re: changing NSEC3 salt

2014-03-10 Thread Graham Clinch

Hi,

Sorry to hijack this older thread, but..


rndc signing -nsec3param ...

I would expect the old NSEC3 chain and old NSEC3PARAM record to be
removed, once the new chain is in place.

(Similarly, the new NSEC3PARAM record will not appear in the zone until
the new NSEC3 chain has been completely generated).


This isn't quite what I see with inline-signing on 9.9.5:

If I switch from NSEC to NSEC3, my zone continues to have an NSEC chain 
until the moment it has an NSEC3 chain.


If I replace an existing NSEC3 chain with a new salt, I seem to lose a 
load of RRSIGs, and there are no NSEC or NSEC3 records until the 
operation completes!!  For example, the are no signatures on the 
DNSKEYs, which feels like a disaster.


Am I doing something wrong?  I hope so!

Graham

IPv6 PTR Records

2014-03-10 Thread Maechler Philippe

Hello bind-users
 
How do you manage your IPv6 Reverse Entries?
 
 
Let´s assume that we have a /32 IPv6 subnet for our needs and that we only 
publish PTR records where they are needed like for mail servers and maybe DNS 
and web servers. 
 
 
Our Network is: 2001:db8::/32
This would give us a Zone named 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
 
Our DNS has the ip 2001:db8:193:192::20/64 and the other one has 
2001:db8:193:193::20/64
 
1) Would you create an entry in 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa like:
 
20.2.9.1.0.3.9.1.0  IN A  dns1.example.org.
20.3.9.1.0.3.9.1.0  IN A  dns2.example.org.
 
Or (also in 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa)
 
$ORIGIN 2.9.1.0.3.9.1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
dns1    IN    A     dns1.example.org.
 
$ORIGIN 3.9.1.0.3.9.1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
dns2    IN    A     dns2.example.org.
 
Or... the third aproach is the complex one:
In the Zone 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
delegate 0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa to dns1.example.org
 
In the Zone 0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
delegate 1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa to dns1.example.org
 
In the Zone 1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
delegate 9.1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa to dns1.example.org
 
and so on until we reach 20.3.9.1.0.3.9.1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. There I 
create an entry like
20  IN    A dns1.example.org.
 
 
 
2) In the near future we will have a lot more entries in the reverse Zone and, 
so I guess, some parts of it will be delegated to other servers. When would you 
start delegating parts of Zone 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa into other Zone-Files?
How far down the tree would you go for de delegation?
 
3) Will a recursive resolver have problems if I only have a SOA for 
8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa and no SOA for the zones below like 
1.0.3.9.1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa?
 
The reason I ask is:
We had generic A records for our IPv4 space: 
dynamic.001-002.003-004.catv.example.org IN A 1.2.3.4 and some mailservers 
complained that there was no zone for 001-002.003-004.catv.example.org. nor 
003-0004.catv.example.org. and no entry for catv.example.org. (we only had the 
example.org Zone with host a host dynamic.001-002.003-004.catv)
 
 
Tia for your inputs and tips
 
Philippe

You could do that, or you could create one reverse zone per /64, or break it at 
any label you like.

 20.3.9.1.0.3.9.1.0  IN A  dns2.example.org.

The correct answer is:

$ORIGIN 8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
0.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.9.1.0.3.9.1.0 PTR dns1.example.com.
0.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.3.9.1.0.3.9.1.0 PTR dns1.example.com.

Again, you can delegate subzones at any arbitrary label.

Personally, I would create a reverse zone for each /64 subnet.

 1.0.3.9.1.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa?

There's a difference between zones and domains. A zone is equal to a domain 
minus any delegated subzones. You are permitted to delegated a subzone several 
labels down the tree from its parent zone. In other words, it's perfectly 
legitimate to have a zone at the /32 level and then child zones at the /64 
level, with no delegated subzones in between (at the /36, /40, /44, etc. 
levels).

 The reason I ask is:
 We had generic A records for our IPv4 space: 
 dynamic.001-002.003-004.catv.example.org IN A 1.2.3.4 and some mailservers 
 complained that there was no zone for 001-002.003-004.catv.example.org. nor

 the example.org Zone with host a host dynamic.001-002.003-004.catv)

That's a different question, for the names of your A records. I don't know why 
a mail server would complain about this, but perhaps others with recent mail 
server admin experience can comment here.

As Chris Buxton pointed out, you lost a few necessary 0s  need 0.2 on the
tail instead of 20.

Provided you get the syntax right, any of those can work.

Choose whatever level of delegation is convenient.  We do most of ours at the 
/64 boundary, but we do some sparse subnets delegated at /56  such to avoid 
having a bunch of zones with almost nothing in them.

What should happen is:

 - the old NSEC3PARAM is removed
 - a private-type record is created, indicating that a
   new NSEC3 chain is being created
 - all the new NSEC3 records are added to the zone
 - the new NSEC3PARAM is created

Looking at the journal file with named-journalprint confirms

Internal clients' queries for myhostname. get sent to forwarders. Why?

2014-03-10 Thread Andreas Ntaflos
Hi list,

I hope I succeeded in articulating the problem we are facing and I
apologize for the length of this post.

Short version:

Using Bind 9 on Ubuntu 12.04 for internal DNS (master for zones
dc01.example.at., 7.1.10.in-addr.arpa., ...) with forwarders (ISP's
nameservers) for everything outside of internal zones.

The Problem: Clients, when running hostname -f or hostname -i,
create queries for myhostname. which are sent to the forwarders which
respond with NXDomain. This generates load on the forwarders and exposes
our internally used hostnames, both of which seems unnecessary and
possible dangerous.

This doesn't seem like normal or healthy behaviour. What can we do to
stop it?

Long version:

In our internal networks we are running Bind 9 on Ubuntu 12.04
(9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.8). The nameserver is configured to be master
for the zone dc01.example.at (obviously we don't use example, but
the other domain components are real). It also serves in-addr.arpa zones
for the internal IP addresses (7.1.10.in-addr.arpa., and so on).
Recursion is enabled for internal clients.

The internal nameserver uses our ISP's nameservers as forwarders for
everything outside of the zones for which it is master.

All clients in our internal networks have names like
auth01.mgmt.dc01.example.at or puppet02.dev.dc01.example.at. All
clients' resolvers are configured with one nameserver and multiple
search domains, like this:

# /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost

# /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 10.1.7.42
search mgmt.dc01.example.at dc01.example.at

Clients are Ubuntu and Debian machines (10.04, 12.04, Lenny, Wheezy).

This all works fine (and has for years now), but recently we became
aware of the fact that whenever a client system runs hostname -f or
hostname -i it will ask the internal nameserver for hostname plus each
search domain (which is fine), AND for the plain hostname with a
trailing dot (which is not fine). I can see this from the nameserver's
query logs and from tcpdump.

For example, on auth01.mgmt.dc01.example.at the nameserver gets asked for:

auth01.mgmt.dc01.example.at.
auth01.dc.example.at.
auth01.

The nameserver replies correctly with the client's FQDN or IP address
for the first query, as well as with NXDomain for the second query (also
correct) but then forwards the third query (auth01.) to the configured
forwarders (our ISPs nameservers). This naturally returns NXDomain.

I am confused and worried by this behaviour. Since we have quite a few
hosts in our internal networks (all running Puppet agents) the
forwarders get hit with requests for hostname. like above multiple
times per second. It also exposes to the forwarders the hostnames of our
internal machines, which isn't great.

Is this the expected behaviour? What can we do to stop our internal
nameserver from forwarding queries for hostname. to our ISPs nameservers?

I have not included any Bind configuration or zone files here, but I can
provide anything needed to facilitate debugging this issue. Please let
me know!

Thanks in advance for any help and pointers, particularly RTFM. I have
had a really hard time googling this :(

Well, there's 2 pieces to this: the authoritative core for the root 
zone, and then the conditional forwarding for the external namespaces 
that need to be made visible.


For setting up and running an internal root on a single primary master 
server, just look at the Internet Standards and/or BIND documentation, 
since an internal root zone isn't fundamentally different than the 
root zone, or for that matter, much different from any regular zone that 
you define (the major difference being, there is no parent from which to 
delegate it). Once you have the internal root up on its primary master, 
then you should define some slaves (as per the documentation), at least 
some of which should be *published* slaves (as per standards, you need 2 
or more of those). Outside of your authoritative core, you may then 
define other internal nameservers with a hints file containing all of 
your internal published slaves for the root zone. Essentially, you're 
re-creating, on a small scale, what is done on the Internet -- an 
authoritative core for root, with edge nameservers pointing to that 
core with their hints files.


For conditional forwarding, again, look at the BIND documentation 
(pseudo-zones of type forward). These need to be defined on *every* 
nameserver where you want the external namespaces to be visible (a 
configuration-management system helps here, to ensure configuration 
consistency; you mentioned you were using Puppet). For a forwarded 
*external* zone, you want forward only as the mode, since otherwise 
your internal boxes will try to use your internal root (which will give 
the wrong information) for names in the zone, whenever the forwarders 
are unavailable. Another big gotcha with BIND: if you want to 
conditionally forward a namespace, and you're authoritative for its 
closest-enclosing ancestor zone (potentially that ancestor zone is your 
internal root if there's nothing defined in between), you need to 
*delegate* the zone that you want to conditionally forward. It doesn't 
really matter what you delegate it *to* -- it can be something bogus -- 
but the delegation needs to *exist* in order for BIND to see the zone 
cut and forward appropriately.


Last but not least, if you conditionally forward a namespace (e.g. 
example.com) outside, and then you want to carve out an _exception_ to 
that namespace internally (e.g. internal.example.com), that has, itself, 
one or more subzone levels to its hierarchy (e.g. 
foo.bar.internal.example.com), then, on any nameserver that isn't 
authoritative for *all* of those subzones in the hierarchy, you should 
use the BIND-idiomatic forwarders { }; syntax to cancel forwarding 
for the exception namespace, e.g.


zone example.com {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { 192.0.2.1; 203.0.113.1; };
};

zone internal.example.com {
type slave; // or master, or stub...
file internal.example.com;
forwarders { }; // cancel forwarding for all subzones
};

Failure to do so will cause queries in subzones (e.g. 
foo.bar.internal.example.com) to forward according to the 
closest-enclosing *forwarded* zone (example.com in the above example), 
which will attempt to resolve externally, rather than internally.


(Obligatory: I would have preferred to see this implemented more 
intuitively as a forward cancel, forward not or forward

First, thanks a lot for the reply! So it seems what I described is 
indeed the expected behaviour for the type of DNS we operate?


To put it another way, why wouldn't it? How would your local BIND know 
whether or not a query for myhostname. or museum. is valid or not? 
One of those has records (although just NS records, no A records)






1) Change nameservice-switch order (e.g. /etc/nsswitch.conf) on your
hosts to prefer another source of name resolution (e.g. /etc/hosts)
which can resolve the shortname. Thus DNS is never used for these 
lookups


This might be a solution but I find that our DNS setup is just complex 
enough that relying on /etc/hosts would probably introduce more 
problems. Then there's managing /etc/hosts on hundreds of machines, 
which we could of course do with Puppet, but I find that highly 
unappealing. Currently we use Puppet to ensure /etc/hosts contains 
just 127.0.0.1 localhost and nothing else.


Can you configure your environment to also write the machine's own 
hostname into the hosts file? We're generally not talking about storing 
every single host into every single HOSTS file, just having each machine 
know it's own hostname matches 127.0.0.1.


This should happen automatically and transparently in the Windows world 
(without appearing in the HOSTS file explicitly), but not in the *nix world.


Beyond that, in the Windows world, a machine will append the local 
domain's search suffix before doing a bare hostname lookup, so these 
queries typically won't leak as long as your local search suffix points 
to a zone that resolves local hosts and gives a valid answer. I suspect 
the same is true in *nix environments, but it's been a while since I 
mucked around, so I don't know what modern *nix does.






2) Simply :-) change your DNS architecture fundamentally, from one which
forwards requests to the Internet by default (aka the Microsoft way),
to one with an internal root zone and conditionally forwarding only
those parts of the namespace that your internal clients actually need to
see.


I confess that I didn't think there was any feasible way other than 
what you call the Microsoft way to operate this kind of internal 
DNS. I also don't think I've ever consciously heard of the setup you 
describe. Can you point me to some reading material on what this 
entails and how to get there?


In general there isn't much to it, if you don't set up a forwarded then 
BIND will use it's .hints file to locate the root servers, and from 
there, it will resolve whatever it needs to resolve recursively, taking 
over the roll of your upstream forwarder.


I'm sure someone can post a link to proper documentation, if you need it.

Incidentally, in the Windows world, you do the same, just leave the 
forwarders list blank and Microsoft DNS does full recursion. The old DNS 
setup wizards encouraged forwarders since they made a lot more sense in 
the high-latency, well maintained DNS server worlds of yester-year, but 
today, you'll probably do a better job of doing your own recursion if 
only because most ISPs do a terrible job of their own DNS servers.

Go back to the orginal configure args and post the errors from config.log.

Re: Configure error - openSSL. Mac OS X

2014-03-10 Thread Mark Andrews

The first thing is that configure has decided that we are cross
compiling which is because the simple executable did not run.

configure:3472: checking whether we are cross compiling
configure:3510: result: yes

I haven't upgraded my machine to Mavericks yet so I can't test this.
The version of clang you are using works with 10.8.5 so the first
thing I would do is make sure you are completely up to date at the
OS level.

The program that configure is trying to compile and run is:

#include stdio.h
int
main ()
{
FILE *f = fopen (conftest.out, w);
 return ferror (f) || fclose (f) != 0;

  ;
  return 0;
}

So I would do that by hand.

gcc -o conftestconftest.c
./conftest

If that fails open a bug report with Apple.
