make test fails on Fedora 10
Several months ago, I reported that several of the make tests were failing due
to couldn't start server ns2 and the like.
Working with the BIND 9.9.2-P2 compile, I just spent several minutes tracking
the source of this down with some judicious use of print in the
'bin/tests/system/start.pl' script and viewing the *.run output. It really
comes down to file permissions -- a particular line from
bin/tests/system/inline/ns1/named.run pointed me in that direction:
27-Mar-2013 14:24:53.970 could not open file 'named.pid': Permission denied
Apparently, the file ownerships for this entire test suite are for a user and
group I do not have:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 10292 9901 2806 Mar 6 11:56 run.sh
For the tests, BIND starts up with an empty group descriptor:
I:issuing command '/home/luther/bind-9.9.2-P2/bin/named/named -m
record,size,mctx -T clienttest -c named.conf -d 99 -g named.run 21 echo $!'
I:Checking that reconfiguring empty zones is silent (1)
... which may be part of the problem, at least in my case. So I cheated by
issuing a find . -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; command.
Now, all the tests are successful.
FYI in case anyone runs into this issue.

If you are using GNU tar, have a look at the --same-owner documentation in the manual page about this. Maybe your problem will go away if you extract as yourself.___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

Re: make test fails on Fedora 10
BIND 9 is setup to be build and tested as a ordinary user. You only need to be root to configure the test interfaces and to do the final install. On Linux named drops root's abilities to override file permissions so when you extract the tarball as root you get files/directories with non root ownerships which named cannot write to. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
