I've been running a bind server for many years and have never had a
problem with upgrading until last night. My needs for the bind server
are pretty meager, just hosting a few hundred zones without DNSSEC.
It is set up in a chroot jail according to a linux howto I found years
ago.
When compiling, the only thing different that I did was that I added
"--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl" to use a compiled-from-source version
of openssl instead of the packaged version. It did the 'configure'
fine and also the 'make' and 'make test'. After doing the 'make
install' I stopped the running bind and then tried to restart with the
newly installing bind and got a startup failure. The output from
/var/log/messages is below (lightly sanitized) but failed with this
error:
Sep 15 16:42:52 ns1 named[2234]: isc_file_isplainfile '/dev/null'
failed: invalid file
Thinking maybe something happened to these devices, I listed them out
and didn't see anything obviously wrong:
[root@ns1 dev]# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Apr 8 14:46 /dev/null
[root@ns1 dev]# ls -l /chroot/named/dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 named named 1, 3 Jan 4 2006 /chroot/named/dev/null
[root@ns1 dev]#
Looking through my named.conf the only reference I have to /dev/null is:
logging {
...
channel "dev_null_log" {
file "/dev/null";
};
…
category lame-servers { dev_null_log; };
…
I'd really like to not lose this channel because of how many lame
servers get reported.
Any ideas what may be my problem with this upgrade and what I can do
to get this version installed?
