Hi,
I've been struggling to get TSIG setup for securing the AXFR of my zone transfers from the master to the secondaries. I've tried what feels like everything I can think of, but I am still unable to get it to work right. I must be missing something, and I hope that the bind community can tell me what it is. I'm using the new 9.10 version of bind, so I created the tsig file on the master by doing tsig-keygen > /etc/bind/tsig.keys, it looks like this: key "tsig-key" { algorithm hmac-sha256; secret "weeetsigblobhere="; }; my named.conf has: include "/etc/bind/rndc.key"; include "/etc/bind/tsig.keys"; include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options"; include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local"; include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones"; and my named.conf.options has: zone "example.net" { type master; allow-transfer { key tsig.key.; }; also-notify { ip.address.here.x; }; file "/etc/bind/master/db.example"; auto-dnssec maintain; inline-signing yes; }; on the slave I have copied over the tsig.keys file and added to the bottom of it: key "tsig-key" { algorithm hmac-sha256; secret "weeetsigblobhere="; }; server ip.of.master.here { keys { "tsig-key"; }; }; now when I try to do a zone transfer: root@owl:/etc/bind# rndc retransfer example.net 21-May-2014 09:34:11.828 received control channel command 'retransfer example.net' 21-May-2014 09:34:11.907 zone example.net/IN: Transfer started. 21-May-2014 09:34:11.987 transfer of 'example.net/IN' from ip.address.of.master#53: connected using ip.address.of.slave#48600 21-May-2014 09:34:12.068 transfer of 'example.net/IN' from ip.address.of.master#53: failed while receiving responses: REFUSED 21-May-2014 09:34:12.068 transfer of 'example.net/IN' from ip.address.of.master#53: Transfer completed: 0 messages, 0 records, 0 bytes, 0.080 secs (0 bytes/sec) and I see on the master: 21-May-2014 16:34:12.031 client ip.address.of.slave#48600/key tsig-key (example.net): zone transfer example.net/AXFR/IN' denied What am I missing? thanks! micah _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
