https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=377029 Summary: Yast dns-server and dhcp-server fixes required for dynamic dns updates to work correctly Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: furlongm@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- There are a few issues that could be resolved to make dynamic dns updates completely configurable through yast. I'll list them all here, but if these are invalid or separate bugzilla entries are required, let me know. 1) dns-server: When running in chroot, /var/lib/named/master directory is owned by root:root and so named cannot create journals for the zones. chown named:named /var/lib/named/master fixes this, but perhaps named:named should be the default ownership? 2) dns-server: On the "Subnet Configuration" page of dhcp-server, we can choose to run dhcp-server in "Dynamic DNS" mode, this asks for the TSIG Key and inserts it into the configuation file (/etc/dhcpd.conf). However, the dns-server module has no matching option for choosing a TSIG Key, so it must a) be manually added to /etc/sysconfig/named [section NAMED_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES] and b) added as an option to the relevant zones in /etc/named.conf (e.g. allow-update { key rndc-key; };). It would be more consistent and less confusing if both modules gave the same option to add this key. 3) dhcp-server: After choosing "Dynamic DNS" for a given subnet, the help at the side says to leave the fields empty for "Primary DNS Server" if the name server runs on the same host as the DHCP server. However yast does not let you leave these fields empty. 4) dns-server: Possibly related to 1) and 2) and just a suggestion. The /var/lib/named/dyn directory is created, but never used. "Dynamic DNS" is not an option for a type of zone (only Master, Slave, Forward). If "Dynamic DNS" were an option, the /dyn directory could be used and the prompt for the TSIG key shown at this stage? 5) dns-server: If you save the configuration without having entered an NS record for a zone, the SOA does not contain the source host, only the email address. If a record is subsequently added, it still does not add the source host. 6) dns-server: Wishlist: It would be nice to be able to enter the source host and email address in the SOA section for a given zone. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
