bind9, SELinux, ServFail
by Meenoo Shivdasani 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

I just set up a CentOS 5.2 system with bind9 (9.3.4-6.0.1.P1.el5) and I'm running up against a problem that seems to be related to SELinux. If I set named_disable_trans to 1, everything works as expected, but if I leave it enabled the server will only give me data for the zones for which it is authoritative. For external sites it returns a ServFail error. This is with nslookup and dig. If I start named from the command line with the command "named -u named", the server returns the expected response. tcpdump shows that the server is querying itself and getting a ServFail response. I figure that I'm missing something really basic, but not sure what. Debug logs show this: FAIL: clientmgr @0x2b491728c1d0: createclients clientmgr @0x2b491728c1d0: recycle . . . fctx 0x2b49173153e0(www.google.com/A'): shutdown client 192.168.213.111#33096: view internal: error Succeed: clientmgr @0x2b109771bd30: createclients clientmgr @0x2b109771bd30: create new . . . res 0x2b109778cae0: dns_resolver_prime res 0x2b109778cae0: priming createfetch: .

/etc/pam.d/system-auth changes in update
by listmail 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

I just did an update, and PAM was was one of the modules. Yum has placed /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew and it's different than the existing file, which is actually a link to system-auth-ac. The files are slightly different, and I'm wondering if the differences are important. I can't find any docs on the reason for the change, so before I spend time becoming a PAM expert, I'm wondering if anyone knows why this change was made, or were it might be documented. Thanks, --Bill

Java Setup
by Clint Dilks 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi People I have been following the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS but trying to modify them for jdk-6u7-linux-amd64.rpm but there doesn't see to be a compatible java-1.6.0-sun-compat-*.rpm. Does one exist ? If not can anyone point me to some documentation on how I can manually set up things so alternatives will work allowing multiple Java versions. Thanks

Evolution in CentOS 5.2
by MHR 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

(Probably OT) Has anyone else noticed these flaky (new?) behaviors in Evo since the 5.2 upgrade: - REALLY slow saving messages from inbox to another folder - search capability separated by folder instead of overall (with no option for control) - failure to autocomplete email addresses for known contacts I think that's it. I was wondering if it was just me, or if others had noticed this. (If it's just me, there is no need to reply....) Thanks. mhr

Problems with bind on 5.2
by Scott Silva 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I'm having some trouble getting reverse zones right on 5.2. The zone files worked fine on a CentOS 4.6 machine, and the forward zones moved to the new server seem OK. But for some reason I can't get anything but servfail's on remote queries to the machine. But for some reason they will answer fine if I run "host ip.ad.dr.ess" on the local machine. I stopped the firewall to help debug this, but it still fails. Bind is listening on all the machines ip addresses. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

Bind update overwrites named.conf
by Chris Miller 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I just had a customer's bind server lose all of it's local DNS records. Yum updated the bind packages this morning at ~6am, and replaced the original /etc/named.conf file, saving the old as named.conf.rpmsave. This seems like the opposite of what it should have done (i.e. save the new file as named.conf.rpmnew). There does not appear to be any difference between the originally shipped conf file and the new one, suggesting that the file should not have been replaced at all. Just wanted to through this out there in hopes it helps someone else before the phone starts ringing... CentOS release 4.6 (Final) Jul 09 05:59:25 Updated: bind-devel.i386 20:9.2.4-28.0.1.el4 Jul 09 05:59:29 Updated: bind-chroot.i386 20:9.2.4-28.0.1.el4 Chris
