Re: bind8 user config problem

[Kenneth P. <sh...@we...>]

Ran into another one. I've been using Webmin's bind module as just a
viewer for now, until I figure out how to add DDNS support. Meanwhile,
I removed a zone (10.in-addr.arpa) that was in the set of zones I was
allowing myself to edit, and added a couple of other zones (both
forwarders, one a forward domain and one a reverse), by editing
named.conf. When I looked at the result with webmin ("Existing DNS
Zones"), I saw the old "10" zone and not the two new ones. Clicking on
the old zone resulted in a Perl error page with the name of one of the
new zones and this message: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH
reference at /usr/libexec/webmin/bind8/edit_master.cgi line 28. It
looks like the module isn't cross-checking the information from the
webmin config files against the current state of the BIND config files.
(This was after restarting webmin, which was necessary to get your
updated bind module recognized.)

When webmin is populating the list of zones one is allowed to edit, it
should remove any no longer in named.conf. If the user is only allowed
to edit selected zones, webmin should not include any new zones.

BTW, is there some way to provide "read-only" access to a zone? I'd
like to permit some users to inspect a zone but not to change it.
