Request to provide procedure for bind upgrade

[Lightner, Jeff]

The package is “bind” not “named”.   The daemon is called “named”.   You can type “rpm –qf $(which named)” to determine which package installed that daemon.   (Likely it was bind.)

Also if you’re running the chroot’ed version you’d want the package “bind-chroot”.

I’d suggest you run “rpm –qa |grep –i bind” to see what BIND packages you have installed.   Note you should ignore things like “ypbind” if installed as that is part of NIS rather than BIND.

You can then do “yum list <package>” against packages to see if there are newer versions without installing them.

e.g.  if you saw things like bind-libs, bind-utils, bind, system-config-bind, bind-chroot in the output of “rpm –qa” (it will also show version on these)

Do “yum list bind-libs bind-utils bind system-config-bind bind-chroot” which will show you both the installed versions you have and the latest available packages for update in the repository.

Ideally you have more than one DNS server and would only update one, test it to be sure everything is working, then update the next one.

Hi Team,

My DNS current version is "BIND 9.8.4-P1" and OS is "Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)".

So could you let me know.

"yum update named" works for upgrade to current version, if yes then what will be the fall back procedure of upgrade fails?
