Re: Dynamic DNS and failed journal

Tim:
It (updating master records) certainly works in FC4, though I've set
SELinux options to allow named to overwrite master zone files.

Paul Howarth:
It can't create new files such as journal files in
/var/named/chroot/var/named though, as that's only writeable by root.

A bit of an oops with my prior post. I looked at the wrong server (one
of the slaves). This is my master server (on FC4, mind you):

ll /var/named/chroot/var/named/ -d
drwxr-x--- 6 named named 4096 Jul 31 19:14 /var/named/chroot/var/named/

My master DNS server can write its master records, and journal files, as
directed to by the DHCP server.

There's also SELinux to consider - see:
http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/FAQ.php (search for "journal" on
that page)

Mine's been sitting on permissive for a long time, and is allowed to
write to master files. I should switch back to enforcing and retest.

I agree that using the "slaves" directory for this seems wrong; the
"data" directory would be better, and should also work OK.

Not sure that I've come across an explanation for what the data
directory is there for.
