Is anyone able/willing to give a brief opinion about the level of security of bind 8 and 9? There must be a reason why SuSE ships both. If they're equally secure it would seem to be more sensible to go with the new version for new servers? Thanks in advance, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.orcon.net.nz/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

The reason for shipping both BIND8 and BIND9 may not be security related. BIND8 and BIND9 behave differently in many ways. This is not security related and totally off-topic here, I suggest you repost this question in the ISC 'bind-users' and 'bind9-users' mailinglists. The volume is reasonable (a few hundred posts per month). Best regards, Arjen -- Eindhoven - The Netherlands Key fingerprint - 66 4E 03 2C 9D B5 CB 9B 7A FE 7E C1 EE 88 BC 57

No problems with running bind9 (except for an occassional restart about once or twice a week, which I couldn't yet figure out). No security problems AFAIK. Bind should be run chroot anyway IMO.
