First one as a slave to our current Windows DNS Servers which all works fine, but there is an additional requirement: an Interface. So I installed Webmin, which came with the bind-module preinstalled and everything works fine, except for restarting the Server. I can stop it, but I cannot start it again. I get an Failed to start BIND : Unknown error using the Webmin-Interface. Using sudo service bind9 start works perfectly. TL;DR: Bind works perfectly, but I can't start the bind service through the Webmin-Interface The Syslog sais: Jan 11 14:28:18 SRVNT151 named[20133]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' Jan 11 14:28:18 SRVNT151 named[20133]: /etc/bind/named.conf.local:34: open: /etc/bind/rndc.key: permission denied Jan 11 14:28:18 SRVNT151 named[20133]: loading configuration: permission denied Jan 11 14:28:18 SRVNT151 named[20133]: exiting (due to fatal error) So my guess is, that it for some reason tries to start bind from another user, because the bind user has access to all the files it complains not havin

on April 30, 2007 by ruchi 94 Comments Sponsored Link DNS Stands for Domain Name Service.On the Internet, the Domain Name Service (DNS) stores and associates many types of information with domain names; most importantly, it translates domain names (computer hostnames) to IP addresses. It also lists mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain. Introduction BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an open reference implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol and provides a redistributable implementation of the major components of the Domain Name System. a name server (named) a resolver library troubleshooting tools like nslookup and dig The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming architecture can be built. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for translation between domain names and Internet addresses and is intended to be linked with applications requiring name service. Firewall Config Bind listens on port 53 UDP and TCP. TCP is normally only used during zone transfers so it would appear that you could filter it if you have no slaves. However If the response to a query is greater than 1024 bytes, the server sends a partial response, and client and server will try to redo the transaction with TCP. Responses that big do not happen often, but they happen. And people do quite often block 53/tcp without their world coming to an end. But this is where one usually inserts the story about the Great DNS Meltdown when more root servers were added. This made queries for the root list greater than 1024 and the whole DNS system started to break down from people violating the DNS spec (RFC1035) and blocking TCP. Differences in BIND8 and BIND9 Apart from being multi-threaded, and a complete code rewrite -- which should provide better stability and security in the long term, there are other differences If there is a syntax error in named.conf, BIND9 will log errors and not reload the named server. BIND8 will log errors and the daemon will die! Extensive support of TSIGs (shared keys) for access control, for example, "update-policy" can be used for fine grained access control of dynamic updates. The tool for star
