Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: SW: 2nd release of Bind 9.3.2rc1 for OS/2 & eComStation

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Paul Smedley <pauldaDESPAM at DESPAMsmedley.info>

This is the second public release of Bind 9.3.2rc1 compiled for OS/2 & 
eComStation and is available from http://smedley.info/os2ports.html

It is built with Innotek GCC 3.3.5 GA and requires the libc06 runtime dll which 
is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.0-ga2.zip

This has not been extensively tested, but seems to work locally for me.

Known issues:
* currently requires a 32-bit tcpip stack (ie tcpip v4.1 or higher).  If there 
is demand for a tcpip v4 compatible version, I'll see if I can build it.

My Bind 8 configuration file required only minor changes to work with Bind 9 - I 
had to remove 'deallocate-on-exit' option, and remove 'category load { xfer-log; };'

Note that errors in the log similar to:
  21-Dec-2005 18:49:08.310 none:0: open: /bind9/etc/rndc.key: file not found
  21-Dec-2005 18:49:08.310 couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file not 
found
  21-Dec-2005 18:49:08.314 no source of entropy found
don't seem to affect functionality.

Details on rndc.key can be found at 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-bind-rndc.html 
- it should be possible to specify the location of rndc.key in named.conf and 
clear this message.

Details on the 'source of entropy' message are at 
http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/FAQ.php It seems possible to work around this one by 
creating a random key using dnssec-keygen and referencing it in named.conf

I'm currently unsure about the "couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file 
not found" problem.

Please send feedback to paul at smedley.info

Cheers,

Paul.
