ubuntu@maas:/etc/bind/maas$ ls -l total 12 -rwxr--r-- 1 maas maas 99 Aug 31 10:44 named.conf.maas -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 193 Aug 31 10:12 named.conf.rndc.maas -rw------- 1 root root 539 Aug 31 10:12 rndc.conf.maas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1042868 Title: MAAS doesn't have permissions to write in /etc/bind/maas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1042868/+subscriptions -- 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
