Hi there, I am setting up a BIND for my local network (anydomain.bom) acessible only for local domain. This is the second time I build BIND, my old Debian crashed after I accidently unplug one of my hdd-ide cable (there are 3 hdd(s) ) and Debian kernel starting panic...
When I start Bind from '/etc/init.d/bind9 start', everything looks fine, like nothing wrong. But I found out that Bind acctually not working properly. /etc/init.d/bind9 reload/restart will give this error message: Stopping domain name service: named rndc: connect failed: connection refused I set up bind with chroot jail. I followed a doc which I used to build my Bind (and it works fine) Folders and files are stored at /chroot/bind/etc/named. And start from folder chroot/bind, everything is owned by user named:named. I create the rndc key by /usr/local/bind/sbin/rndc-confgen -a. And the rndc.key is also owned by named:named. I did create rndc.conf and also putting the right lines within named.conf for the value of rndc.key Is this 'connetion refused' error coused by uninstalling Bind9 from dselect and re-compile the source code? That is what I did with my Bind after all. Or it might because the folders and files are owned by named? I did uninstall/remove the bind9 package from Debian and recompile the Bind9 from beggining. I heard that 'lwred' somewhat can block BIND to run properly, how to check whether the lwresd is runing on my box? and how to kill it if it's necessary? I checked with 'ps aux' but nothing with 'named' on the list, so I guess named is not running after all. I start '/etc/init.d/bind9 start', everything looks normal, but when I 'ps aux' no named/bind system running. The doco suggest that I add /usr/local/bind/bin to LOCAL_PATH and /usr/local/bind/man to LOCAL_MAN in /etc/profile (and I export it) but nothing in my system can run /usr/local/bind/bin files. What happen here? Am I make mistake in Debian (that not suppose in /etc/profile?) I missed two files: /var/run/named.pid and /var/run/named.stats. can I create these files manually (touch) and chown it as named:named? Will this method works?
