Hello everyone. I am trying to get BIND 9.x.x to work on my RH9 box. I got the tarball and extracted and moved everything where it needed to be. Made the appropriate zone files and named.conf
Turns out the tar didnt come with the /etc/rc.d/init.d/named file. So I had to make one from a site a I found:
#!/bin/sh
#
# named This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# named (BIND DNS server).
#
# chkconfig: - 55 45
# description: named (BIND) is a Domain Name Server (DNS) \
# that is used to resolve host names to IP addresses.
# probe: true
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
[ -f /usr/sbin/named ] || exit 0
[ -f /etc/named.conf ] || exit 0
RETVAL=0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting named: "
daemon named
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/named
echo
;;
stop)
# Stop daemons.
echo -n "Shutting down named: "
killproc named
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/named
echo
;;
status)
/usr/sbin/ndc status
exit $?
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
reload)
/usr/sbin/ndc reload
exit $?
;;
probe)
# named knows how to reload intelligently; we don't want linuxconf
# to offer to restart every time
/usr/sbin/ndc reload >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo start
exit 0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: named {start|stop|status|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
After running dos2unix on it and changing the permissions and setting the file to be executable.
I get this:
[root@ns1 /]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start
[root@ns1 /]#
That's all. Nothing to tell me anything happened. Anyone know why?
TIA.
