BIND 9.7 (and Webmin)

2010-09-18 Thread Bill Christensen

HI folks,

I was recently asked by my credit card processor to update BIND to 
9.6.1 or later.  The BIND I was using was the one that comes with 
10.6.4 - 9.6.0, I think.


So of course being a fan of MacPorts I installed the latest, 9.7.1. 
I removed the startup item for the previous version.  But I seem to 
be missing something critical in the setup as port 53 isn't open any 
more and it's not responding to queries.  I see named running, and 
when I restart BIND the pid changes so I think I'm good there.


I've checked the settings against the old ones and against another 
live server with the apple-installed BIND, and I've got some parts 
working (I can view/add/delete zones) but as is often the case with 
MacPorts-installations various bits and pieces aren't in mirrored 
locations within /opt/local/.


I'm using Webmin, and a few things eluded me in the config - full 
path to whois, ndc, rndc, rndc.conf, dnssec.keygen, and 
dnssec-signzone.  And if there's any other thing which may be causing 
the problem that comes to mind, I'd like to hear it.


Thanks.
