[OmniOS-discuss] BIND DNS server on r151014

[Andries Annema]

Ow, wow. I didn’t think that would have worked, because that particular repo is flagged as “deprecated” and the packages in it are for r151012 while my box runs r151014. This made me expect it to fail, so I hadn’t even tried. 

Your reply triggered me to try anyways and guess what? Bull’s-eye. 

Thanks! :-)

 

Regards,

Andries

 

PS: even though this solves the problem for now, wouldn’t we want the BIND DNS server packages on the ms.omniti.com repo to be complemented with a working smf configuration anyway? 

Now it tastes to me like a cake without the topping – it s*cks. :-)

Hello all,

 

What’s up with the BIND DNS server package? Trying to get it installed and running on a r151014 box and even though installation  from the ms.omniti.com publisher is successful, …:

 

# pkg info server/dns/bind

          Name: omniti/server/dns/bind

       Summary: BIND DNS server and tools

         State: Installed

     Publisher: ms.omniti.com

       Version: 9.10.4

        Branch: 0.151014

Packaging Date: Wed May  4 18:19:49 2016

          Size: 63.48 MB

          FMRI: pkg://ms.omniti.com/omniti/server/dns/bind@9.10.4-0.151014:20160504T181949Z

 

… a DNS server service doesn’t show up:

 

# svcs -a | grep dns

disabled       14:04:31 svc:/network/dns/install:default

disabled       14:04:31 svc:/network/dns/client:default

disabled       14:04:33 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default

 

The ms.omniti.com bind server package does not have the smf configuration, I had the same problem a while ago.

I ended up installing the one in uulm.mawi repo, these are the notes from my documentation to get it running:

# pkg set-publisher -g http://scott.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/release uulm.mawi

Verify the repo is enabled: 

# pkg publisher 
PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
omnios                                origin   online   http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/release/
uulm.mawi                             origin   online   http://scott.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/release/

Then we can install it with: 

# pkg install service/network/dns/bind

This will install bind but it is not enabled by default. Fortunately this is very easy. First find the service name: 

# svcs -a | grep dns
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/install:default
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/client:default
disabled       13:21:45 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default
disabled       14:29:16 svc:/network/dns/server:default

The last one looks like the right one, so we enable it with 

# svcadm enable dns/server
# svcs -a | grep dns
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/install:default
disabled       13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/client:default
disabled       13:21:45 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default
online         14:30:50 svc:/network/dns/server:default

This bind package has a file /etc/named.conf.sample, so we copy that to /etc/named.conf and modify it to your liking. For a caching server the only change you probably need to do is adapt the allow-recursion parameter to match your network

# svcadm disable dns/server
# svcadm enable dns/server

Hope this helps.

Regards,
