I've successfully set up a Primary DNS server with Bind9. I've used the instructions from the Debian Network Administrator's Guide. I also installed Bind9 on another server and created zone's in the named.conf file that are of type slave and pointed the masters to my other server. I restarted Bind and I see named running in the processes. But I'm not seeing anything get transferred from the primary server. Shouldn't there be something in /var/cache/bind? Mine is empty on the Secondary server.
I'm getting the following error messages in my syslog: Nov 3 09:59:47 utils2 named[1912]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' Nov 3 09:59:47 utils2 named[1912]: no IPv6 interfaces found Nov 3 09:59:47 utils2 named[1913]: dumping master file: /etc/bind/tmp-XXXXEgUxkw: open: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:47 utils2 named[1913]: transfer of '106.5.10.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:47 utils2 named[1913]: transfer of '106.5.10.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: end of transfer Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1913]: dumping master file: /etc/bind/tmp-XXXXXJVhAQ: open: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1913]: transfer of '112.5.10.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1913]: transfer of '112.5.10.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: end of transfer Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1912]: dumping master file: /etc/bind/tmp-XXXXdeApkb: open: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1912]: transfer of 'nnfoo.org/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1912]: transfer of 'nnfoo.org/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: end of transfer Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1912]: dumping master file: /etc/bind/tmp-XXXXF424uu: open: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1912]: transfer of '107.5.10.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied Nov 3 09:59:48 utils2 named[1912]: transfer of '107.5.10.in-addr.arpa/IN' from 10.5.107.12#53: end of transfer Why am I getting permission denied?
