* John Straiton <jsmailing@clickcom.com> [20010824 16:30]: writing on the subject 'Problem with slave server not saving files'
| 
| I work in a company that has for years now, been using 2 master servers that
| replicate off each other via a crontabbed scp. I'm trying to migrate them to
| a master->slave relationship instead. The problem is that I can't seem to
| get the slave to populate any backup files as is described behavior in the
| O'reilly book.
| 
| The slave name server (NS3) starts up and runs just fine, answering queries
| for local domains and remote. However for the ones that it is noted as slave
| for, in the config, it is not saving local copies of the zone transfers
| (assuming that it's doing them).
| 
| I converted the master over (NS1), and now am trying to set up the slave
| (NS3), while keeping NS2 running like it was (copying the files).
| 
| I'm using a chroot'ed enviroment which is working fine on the master which
| is very much like what you see on
| http://profile.sh/bsdwiki/index.php?Setting%20up%20secure%20DNS%20servers%20
| with%20BIND%20under%20FreeBSD
| with the exception that i'm using 8.2.4 and I have everything in /etc/namedb
| with all the data files in /etc/namedb/sandbox/virtuals/ &
| /etc/namedb/sandbox/etc (reverses/db.cache). Everything from /etc/namedb
| down is owned by bind.bind and is chmod'ed 775.


I tried the instructions on the link out and they seem to work okay. The
only thing that I do not see working well is the logging. Bind9 seems to
be so silent!!

The mug is a tool. My ace in the hole. To have looks is the bonus on top of 
what motivates me to be an actor. Not to realize they're an asset would be 
counterproductive to the cause; they serve the common good.
