Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 Severity: normal
Dumping the cache (rndc dumpdb) fails with permission denied because the Debian config runs bind9 as used 'bind', but the directory rndc tries to write the dump file into doesn't allow user 'bind' to write in the directory. Adding 'dump-directory "/tmp/named_dump.db"' to the config fixes the problem. Bind's error message just says it can't write named_dump.db. It doesn't say where it tried to write, and the location is hard to find (someone on the users list found it for me), so tracking down the problem is very difficult... -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bind9 depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii bind9utils 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 Utilities for BIND ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libbind9-40 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 BIND9 Shared Library used by BIND ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 2.11-2 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-11 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii libdns43 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 DNS Shared Library used by BIND ii libisc44 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 ISC Shared Library used by BIND ii libisccc40 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 Command Channel Library used by BI ii libisccfg40 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 Config File Handling Library used ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii liblwres40 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-5.1 Lightweight Resolver Library used ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-22 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system bind9 recommends no packages.
