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, see Section 3 of:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/howto/openSuSE_Server-Setup

Step-by-step on bind and providing dynamic update from dhcp to bind in 11.0.

Thanks, very good reference: no opinion on whether yast is actually broken in this respect then?

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....

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
