I have installed CentOS 5.5 final on VM ware 7.0 workstation.... and I was trying to install and configure bind9.. it installed alright but it refused to start because named.conf is not in the /etc/ directory. I have copied the template for /usr/share/doc/named/* to (/etc/ and /var/named/) the appropriate directory but it still fails but on it does not gives me any error message. Oh... least I forgot I was trying to configure it as a cache only server for now.
system: centos 5.5 Kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 freshly installed. bind is configured in chroot environment out of the box. placed named.conf in /var/named/chroot/etc and my zone files in /var/named/chroot/var/named.
when i started bind9, it showed me this error, Can anyone help me in this, according to me i dont have a file sysklogd so i can not restart that. that is why i think iam getting error while starting bind9. How to get that file and how to get started Bind9.
When I shutdown computer and start it up, eth0 doesn't seem to show up (though lspci sees ethernet card and modules are loaded). When i reboot (which is exactly the same, in my opinion), it works good. I'm using Sabayon GNU/Linux, Gnome Network Manager applet.
I have Ubuntu 9.10 PC on my home network acting as a VPN gateway. It is using vpnc & iptables to provide access to the remote network - other computers on my local network have routing rules in place to go via the Ubuntu gateway if trying to reach an IP on the remote network. This works just fine, except DNS lookups for names on the remote network don't work.
I'm trying to solve this by using Bind9 on the gateway, so it can act as DNS for the local network. I don't want to create excess VPN traffic or load on the remote DNS, so I want the gateway to forward the lookup to my ISPs DNS first and if the name is not found then try the remote network DNS. Is this possible, or is there another (better) way around this? The Bind9 configs seem to admit multiple DNSs, but use them in a failover sense - only using secondary DNSs when the first one in the list is not reachable at all.
I want to setup bind9 so that IPs from one range will use the Google DNS Servers and IPs from another range will work from Opens DNS but am unable to get it working here are my configs.anyone that can help me please?
I have setup ubuntu server and right now i'm trying to get my DNS server working for my intranet.
I'm using my ubuntu as gateway wo internet and somehow my windows client can't use my DNS service. when i do nslookup www.google.com from my server (10.0.0.1) it return me answer code...
Set up a server with Bind, Dovecote, Apache etc. Registered a domain and made all the necessary things for it to work. The server can send/receive mail on my domain, but when I try to look up the site I have it returns a lookup failure. I know Apache is working as I can browse the site when I used my ip address but I can't when I use the domain name. Anyone got a few tricks I could try to dumb down and find the possible failures I did when setting this up?
those are the IP addresses of the servers and their respective hostnames so if i send a request for anything to just undernets.lan it will fail because there is no record for that. so i added this to the bottom of the zone record
Code: IN CNAME amanda
thinking that a blank would refer to the top of the zone
here is my named.conf.local which is called in my named.conf
Code: zone "undernets.lan" { type master; file "/etc/bind/undernets.db"; }; zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
[Code]....
i want to be able to lookup undernets.lan and it give me the IP address of amanda.undernets.lan
I'm trying to configure bind9 to block porn by having it pretend to be authoritative for a list of porn domains. It can then return a "fake" IP for the port sites, which points to a page on my server. So far, the only way I have found to do in this in bind requires a separate zone for each porn domain. This doesn't work because of memory problems - I have 1000's of porn domains to block.
I'd like to instead have bind forward queries to rbldnsd, which can take a list of domains in a "data set" file, and use it to return a single A record (pointing to my "access denied" page). However, I think this will not work because I would still need a separate "zone" for each porn domain name.
I am running centos 5.3 with the latest bind, i have made some changes in the config and now it wont start.
Fel i named-konfigurationen:/etc/named.conf:27: unexpected end of input (last line) My named.conf looks like this: options { directory "/var/named/"; }; view "externt" { match-clients { any; }; recursion no; zone "dala.hk" { type master; file "dala.hk"; }; zone "0.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa." { type master; file "1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; }; }; view "intern" { match-clients { 192.168.0.0/8;}; zone "intern" { type master; file "intern; }; };
v10.4 {I have completely re-edited this thread because I have started over fresh. I am no longer using bind9, but now using the installation-defaults nameserver and dhcp and trying to get a handle on how things ought to be setup properly. My previous attempts was a disaster.}
Coming fresh out of a newly installed 10.4, I obviously was able to get network connectivity but then I ran into trouble the minute that I tried to change eth0/eth1 connections via network-manager's applet. What I found was, that when I attempted to define static connections, all bets were off. It seems that once one attempts to change eth0/eth1 which are wired devices, I was no longer able to recover my network connectivity!
I was however able to setup a wireless connection, so in this way I was able to get back network (and Internet) connectivity, and write this thread on this forum. I notice also, that there is no longer 'Networks' in the System->Administration menus! Geez, what the hell is going on? how to properly configure my static wired connection? Networks in 10.4 have really changed alot!
I am running Ubuntu 10.10(I know what you're thinking, but I have a thing for Betas) and everything was going well until I installed an update calles Grub-PC, which I don't know exactly what it does but it said it was important. Now ubuntu won't start unless I first restart from Windows. If I try to turn on the pc and start ubuntu it restarts itself. I can only read something about NTFS, it only shows the text for less than a second than it restarts.
this explanation could take a paragraph or two. I have 7 hard drives in my system. One is a 250GB PATA I use for the Ubuntu install, 3 are 1.5TB SATA Seagates and the other 3 are 1TB SATA Seagates. I have had to replace 4 drives (one of them is the same drive twice) in order to get 6 that actually work well. That's a 40% failure rate. Most of the failed within a week or so of putting them in.
Through all of that I have learned a few things and now have them configured as follows. I have all six of them Raid5 with 1TB partitions. And then the 3 extra 500GB partitions I put as Raid 5 also. Seems weird, but it saves 1TB of space instead of having 3 1.5TB RAID5 and 3 1TB RAID5.I then use LVM to make it all one big 6TB drive. Yummy, lots of space.
Here's the problem I have had the last couple of times I restart the computer the 6X1TB RAID does not start up, or I should say it has all the drives as spares (the 3X500GB RAID starts fine). I have to use --force to get the raid to load, and all 6 load fine. I believe it says something about having to write something to two of the drives (I believe it is something about the superblock) to make them the same. I'm sorry I did not catch the message.Is that enough information for someone to tell me why it does this? It's done it twice now, when I reboot the computer.
Here's the problem -- DHCP wont start and throws the error "Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied." Somewhere I found a post that indicated that the following corrected the issue (I dont really know why):
When I do the above DHCP will start (in theory, at least no erros are thrown). But if I ask DHCP to restart, it will stop, but not restart. And the error is "No subnet declaration for eth1 (192.168.3.2)"
The start menu in kde 4 is broken. Shutdown and restart are missing.
I hope they weren't removed for some wacky paranoid security reason. My Linux partition is encrypted and I use strong passwords. Any sensitive files or folders that I have are also encrypted.
The switch user doesn't work. Although present, they just either lock the user's screen with a password needed to log back in or log out the user entirely. Linux is, last I heard, a multi-user capable operating system. The switch user button never really worked well at all & I usually avoided using it.
Even XP can handle this sort of challenge. When I was running Fedora 7 with KDE 3.something or other, these functions worked flawlessly. They also worked under Fedora 8.
The logout button appears to work properly. I had a whole bunch of updates to install, resulting in the start menu breaking. The damage is restricted to KDE. The updates have improved my wireless connection, sound quality and speed.
I'm running the newest kernel for Fedora 11, which is what I'm using with KDE 4. I would rather not break KDE entirely or have to use another desktop. I tried fluxbox, but I would like to stick with KDE. What I'm worried about is whether or not KDE will simply continue to deteriorate or break entirely.
I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line. I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything,
[code]...
sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing. Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.
I installed the latest Debian on a computer to make a backup appliance. No GUI.When the computer starts, everything is okay. The DHCP client is running, the network interface have an address, fine.If I do a /etc/init.d/network restart (or stop + start), no more DHCP client. t is stopped when the interface is down. When the interface is up, I have to start it manually.1 - is it normal ?2 - isn't ifup's job to launch the dhcp client ?3 - can /etc/network/if-up.d be the right place to resolve this ?
I just installed my first EVER bind DNS server. I am running bind9 on Ubuntu 10.04. Everything seems to be working great except one thing: If I ping a host that I have set up in bind by its HOSTNAME the pings take 5-6 seconds to reply/print to the screen between each echo response. If I ping by the host's IP address, they echo back very quickly.
I have read that IPv6 can cause this, but I have disabled it in /etc/sysctl.conf and the problem still exists.
I know everyone says this can't be a DNS issue, but this never was an issue with dnsmasq (which i was using prior), and it doesn't make sense that the ping are ONLY slow when pinging by hostname and not IP.
Configs below:
Ping by hostname - there is a 5-6 second delay between each one of the responses:
Code:
Ping by IP - the responses come VERY quickly one after the other:
I'm using debian 5 x64 with xfce.Is there a way to configure (start/stop/restart) services (especially Apache2, mySQL and PHP) using a graphical or cli tool? I tried to use sysv-rc, sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and rc-conf in the terminal but Bash didn't find them (Although Synaptic show that sysv-rc is installed).
I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "
I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.
