I'm trying to move our bind-8 from a redhat 9 box to a bind-9 on a CentOS-4 box. I'm not as good as I'd like to be in bind, so I thought I'd use the configuration tool. But I can't find it!
I've tried yum search system-config-bind, googling, everything I can think of. Is the tool just plain gone?
Thanks!
Ben

I really hope so. It was in my "Very Bad Things" category, and was an upstream mistake so far as I'm concerned...

Wonderful. So now I'm getting a "rndc: connect failed: connection refused" error, my named configuration files are obviously not compatible, and I have about one freaking hour to figure out the differences and get three domains up and running.
Anybody have a job opening? *sigh*

I seem to recall having a similar issue with a bind 9 update. When I had a look at the new config file vs my old config file I noticed one line was different.
include "/etc/rndc.key";
My old DNS config file never had that line in it.. yet it worked... however, when I upgraded to the new bind, I uploaded my old config file and bam things started not working. After inserting the above line into the new config file everything worked fine again.
Other question one has to make sure is that port 53 is open in your IPTABLES / firewall?
Probly doesn't help but I thought id try =)

Ben,
Most common reason: bad ownership on /var/named*; run a "chown -R named.named /var/named" and it'll probably fix you right up.

Troy,
Thanks! That was one issue. Turns out that the other was that I hadn't copied over my rootservers.cache file. Instead of just generating a new one, it would fail.
Thanks so much!

Ben,
Great! I personally think it's a problem in the upstream RPM, I've had this problem happen forever. I just recently replaced a slave DNS server with CentOS4/ia32 (from an old solaris7/sparc box) and had the exact same problem. Took using strace to finally figure out. :-/
