Howdy All - I did a cursory search and didn't find anyone else who has run into this, forgive me if this has already been discussed. I am running webmin-1.270-1 installed from RPM on a RHEL 4 AS i386 server. The server is up to date as of today. It has caching-nameserver-7.3-3, bind-libs-9.2.4-2, bind-chroot-9.2.4-2, bind-9.2.4-2 and bind-utils-9.2.4-2 installed. When I create DNS zone files, they are created as expected in /var/named/chroot/var/named. However, the /etc/named.conf file is configured by webmin to look for the files under /var/named. The other zones files in /var/named/chroot/var/named are symlinked to /var/named, but webmin does not create the appropriate symlinks for those files it creates. Is this a webmin bug? Thanks!

Maybe :) Is it really necessary to create synlinks from /var/named to the chroot directory? Normally when BIND is run in a chroot environment, it will always look for named.conf and the zone files under /var/named/chroot , meaning that the files under /var/named are never accessed directly. So Webmin doesn't bother to create then .. - Jamie |

Honestly, I would think that sort of negates the whole point of chroot anyway. Not sure what the logic behind that is. > Normally when BIND is run in a chroot environment, it will always > look for named.conf and the zone files under /var/named/chroot , meaning that > the files under /var/named are never accessed directly. Makes sense, but in my case it was not working until I created the symlinks. > So Webmin doesn't > bother to create then .. > > - Jamie OK. I will poke around and see if there was something knuckle-headed I did and just don't realize it. Thanks! TC PS - Jamie, are you Clan Cameron of Lochiel? |

What went wrong exactly? If the zone files were missing from BIND's point of view, you would have gotten errors in /var/log/messages saying so when it was started.. > > So Webmin doesn't > > bother to create then .. > > > > - Jamie > > OK.

Same here but to the USA. My grandmother was big into genealogy so I know a bit about my Scottish roots. Thanks for the help! Thomas |
