Title:
Unreadable or symlinked openssl.cnf breaks bind9
Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in openssl package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
If /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf is unreadable by bind9 process, or is
symlinked from another file (regardless of whether the target is
readable by bind9 or not), bind9 will not start.
This is apparently the same issue as what was discussed on the Debian side in
2010:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=584911
I have several custom openssl.cnf files, and recently decided to
symlink the 'default' openssl.cnf to one of them (the target is world
readable). On the next reboot bind would not start. With a lot of
digging, much like in the debian ticket I referred to above, I
eventually clued in on the fact that somehow OpenSSL is involved even
though it's not an advertised dependency.
If this can't be corrected (i.e. so that bind would start regardless
of whether openssl.cnf can be accessed), perhaps a more informative
error message could be added. A simple "cannot read openssl.cnf"
would have saved me an hour of debug time.
