Re: Mail server?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Howdy, configuration has always seemed pretty straight-forward. If I stay with sendmail, should I download and compile from sources? You should always use the ports collection, or a package, for what it's worth. By the way, if you think sendmail configuration is straightforward, I don't think there's much MTA software out there that could still scare you, not even qmail :P If you choose to go with sendmail, you should use the base-system's. It's pretty up to date with critical patches and the like. I personally deprecated sendmail ages ago, for two mai reasons: - it's a cruft, one big old leviathan and delivers mail at according speed - its security history I know both points are arguable and I don't want to troll off another holy MTA war here, just saying that these two points did it for me. I personally prefer Postfix, which is also used by the mail-servers at FreeBSD.org. The UCE blocking support offered by it is pretty good, and configuration is straightforward. You don't even need to remove the base-system's MTA, just tweak rc.conf and mailer.conf and you're up and away. I couldn't agree more. Postfix is fast, flexible and way secure and its configuration and general handling isn't as messy as qmail's. For the most part, all you have to worry about is one central config file and it aims to integrate well into a system replacing sendmail. Try it.

I believe this is done by the nsupdate(8) program.
You can also have your DHCP server do the updates - which makes sense, as
it's the thing handing out the addresses to your client machines. I have
this working reasonably well with isc-dhcpd, for Windows and FreeBSD
clients.
You want to read the 'DYNAMIC DNS UPDATES' section of the dhcpd.conf(5)
manpage, and whatever docs your DNS server has on this topic. There are
plenty of examples of working configs for isc-dhcpd and bind to be found on
the web.
HTH,
Scott
I just set this up today...
There's actually nothing to be done on the client side.
The isc-dhcp server takes care of informing BIND that it has handed
out a new Address.
You have to add the following line to your dhcpd.conf:
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
and make sure BIND is willing to take it:
(from /etc/named/named.conf:
zone lan {
type master;
allow-update { 192.168.1.10; }; --
file s/lan;
};
(192.168.1.10 is my DHCP server, which is actually
the same machine which runs BIND)
after a little while, 'host -l lan' says:
OREN1.lan has address 192.168.1.54
ROIE.lan has address 192.168.1.57
Sun.lan has address 192.168.1.56
zhacy.lan has address 192.168.1.58
And so forth...
These are all dynamically-assigned addresses,
I only have ladon/mail/router.lan defined in the
zone file.
