I have no experience demoting BIND, but I realize I must. Making a chroot'ed environment isn't as large a concern for me as just dropping root from the daemon. My question is can I perform this task in a 'Debian' way? By that I mean can I follow a HOWTO aimed at Debian, so Apt wont trample of my work during the next BIND update? Does anyone have a methodology for BIND8 on Debian 2.2?
I was under the impression one had to be root to bind to lower ports. Although I agree that this is a problem (not to mention a silly one) I don't think it's a debian problem it's more of a linux problem.
