After some extensive tinkering, I came up with this solution to the rndc.key permissions issue: As the root user (or sudo) do the following:
cp /etc/bind/rndc.key /etc/dhcp3/ chown dhcp:dhcp /etc/dhcp3/rndc.key chmod 640 /etc/dhcp3/rndc.key In "/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf" add this line: include "/etc/dhcp3/rndc.key"; chown root:bind /etc/bind/rndc.key chmod 640 /etc/bind/rndc.key In /etc/bind/named.conf add this line to the top of the file: include "/etc/bind/rndc.key"; In /etc/bind/named.conf add this line to the bottom of the file: controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; }; }; -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341817 Title: dhcpd wont start due to rndc.key permissions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
