[opensuse] 11.0, yast zone files, no wildcards?
I am trying to configure bind with yast in opensuse 11.0. I hoped this would save me trying to remember all the brackets. However, I cannot get it to accept wildcard entries in zone files. Is this because bind no longer allows them, because I have missed something, or just a bug in yast? -- Roger Hayter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, very good reference: no opinion on whether yast is actually broken in this respect then? -- Roger Hayter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you have previously changed either named.conf or dhcpd.conf by hand, I believe yast black-lists it and will not over-write your config. I don't see why that would apply to zone files, but that may be why yast is balking.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

No, it writes zone files all right within its limitations, but won't accept wildcards as a valid option for hostnames, and won't accept IP addresses as valid options for "allow transfers", so it won't actually write the commonplace zone files I want. However, it will produce the files and let me edit them (and named.conf for the "allow transfers") afterwards, so that seems to be an OK workaround. -- Roger Hayter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
