Re: [webmin-l] BIND9

[Dave O. <da...@sy...>]

In the list of domains, open a slave domain.  (one that works already)

Look at the top, “Master servers” is empty.  Technically since there are no master servers any more guess that’s correct, but the primary server should be listed there, and if I do add a server there it gets entered wrong in the named.conf file.

 

There are lots of places that the “master/slave” references are still there instead of “primary/secondary” but that can be generally handled, but I think probably for consistency the master/slave stuff should be gone.

 

Not a political statement, just annoying that the server and webmin don’t use the same terms.

Webmin should already handle the different names for master/primary and secondary/slave zone names, unless there's a bug.

 

What goes wrong exactly when you try to add a zone?

Bind 9 is “woke” and has been for a while, so we no longer have “Master/Slave” its been replaced by “Primary/Secondary”

 

The folders on a default install look like this:

 

drwxr-xr-x  2 bind bind  uarch     2 Apr  2 23:37 dynamic/

-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel uarch 21992 Apr  2 23:37 named.conf

-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel uarch 21992 Apr  2 23:37 named.conf.sample

-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel uarch  3314 Apr  2 23:37 named.root

drwxr-xr-x  2 root wheel uarch     5 Apr 16 11:31 primary/

drwxr-xr-x  2 bind bind  uarch     2 Apr  2 23:37 secondary/

drwxr-xr-x  2 bind bind&nbs p; uarch     2 Apr  2 23:37 working/

 

So, now take a look at the Bind Module in Webmin.

 

Add a domain to the “Master” fails

Add a domain as a “Slave” fails.

 

Not unexpected, as those folders aren’t there anymore.

 

But anyway, figured I would point it out, since I know you have nothing else to do  😊  (and yes, I have it working, just requires a bit of fiddling)

 

(maybe there is a new hidden Bind9 module?)
