=====Update (11/04/08)...===== After an apt-get dist-upgrade, bind9 failed to start. After poking around, I found out that somehow /etc/default/bind had the -u switch set to run Bind9 as the user 'named'. Weird, because with Bind9, there is no user 'named'. I set it back to: -u bind and everything fired right up. Also, my particular vserver doesn't log to dmesg, so if you want intuitive debug level info that isn't being printed in /var/log/syslog, then you can run named like this: <pre> named -g -d 10 </pre> That tells named to start with the debug level globally set to 10. <br><br> I also tinkered a little more and found that you can remove all of the db. files in /etc/bind and in /etc/bind/named.conf except for db.local and db.root. In other words, you don't need to configure or keep db.0, db.127, db.255, db.empty, nor do you need them referenced in named.conf. <br><br> <hr> ''Problems getting this to work in an x86_64 vserver. Any hints? From what I can tell from stracing, turning off threads doesn't fix everything related to it. It also caused a juicy Ksymoops.'' ''- Apparently this does work when running bind as user root. I Installed a bare Debian Etch vserver without granting any special capabilities on my x86_64 system, apt-get install bind9, kill any started named-processes and edit /etc/default/bind, changing the user (-u) from bind to root. Bind starts now starts when using /etc/init.d/bind9 start and resolving seems to work. Mind you, the usual warnings and rants about running stuff as root still applies! - 2007-08-06 MGS''
