Hi All,
Thank you all for the enormous help in me getting bind-chroot
working after upgrading to Fedora 34. Here are my notes.
Hope this helps someone else.
-T
Broken bind-chroot repair after upgrading to Fedora 34:
# means root
$ means user
1) temporary workaround so you can surf the Internet for help:
Change /etc/resolv.conf to
# search your_domain
# nameserver your_IP
nameserver 208.67.222.123
2) in their "ultimate wisdom", the rpm maintainers disabled
the service after upgrading it. See the following bug I posted
on 2021-06-14:
Bind-chroot upgrade from FC3 to FC34 disables the service
breaking a server
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1972000
To repair:
# systemctl enable named-chroot.service
# systemctl start named-chroot.service
Other useful command(s):
# systemctl stop named-chroot.service
# systemctl status named-chroot.service
# systemctl restart named-chroot.service
3) the new version of bind-chroot enables "dns security validation" by
default.
To repair, place the following in your named.conf:
by itself at the bottom:
include "/etc/named.root.key";
add the following to your "options" block:
dnssec-validation yes;
Other useful command(s):
Validation check:
$ delv @$IP com ds
$ delv @208.67.222.123 com ds
; fully validated
...
4) check (and repair) your configurations:
named.conf:
# named-checkconf -l -t /var/named/chroot /etc/named.conf
Note: if you get the following error message,
`/etc/named.root.key:1: option 'managed-keys' is
deprecated`
it is a bug in named-checkconf.
See the following I posted on 2021-06-14. Just ignore
the message.
named-checkconf gives confusing depreciated
'managed-keys' message
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1972022
Zones:
# named-checkzone -t directory domain filename
Note: the "domain name" in the following comes from named.conf
zone, not `domainname`. For example:
zone "abc.local" {
type master;
file "slaves/rent-a-nerd.hosts";
allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
The "domain" is the name of the "zone". "abc.local" in the above
# named-checkzone -t /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves
abc.local abc.hosts
zone abc.local/IN: loaded serial 265
OK
# named-checkzone -t /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves
255.168.192.in-addr.arpa abc.hosts.rev
zone 255.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 213
OK
5) restart the bind-chroot service:
Change /etc/resolv.conf back to
search your_domain
nameserver your_IP
# nameserver 208.67.222.123
# systemctl restart named-chroot.service
check for and repair errors with:
$ systemctl status named-chroot.service
# tail -f /var/log/messages
