Let this not block this ticket. Marcin can provide his input on a separate
ticket.
> > Does this make sense anymore? bind10 is started as root, and so are
all its daemons. It was useful remark when b10-dhcp6 was stand-alone.
> I've removed this, although I think we need to discuss privilege with
the DNS team: do we use the privileged socket creator to open the
privileged ports?
No, we don't.
> '''Section 18.2'''[[BR]]
> > Second listing has some values for v6 database name and user, but the
v4 counterpart does not. I think it would be easier to deploy if we had
defined some defaults. I understand the dangers of having default password
set, but still these are early days, so tradeoff for easier deployment
outweights security concerns.
> The listing has been changed. As to a default password, I don't think
it would be useful: the creation of the MySQL database and authorization
of the username under which it is accessed is wholly under control of the
user. The aim is to get the information in the BIND 10 configuration
matching that entered when the database and the database user were
created.
Ok.
> > Third bullet suggest an ugly kludge for working around the problems in
session control. With Marcin's fixes (or bit cleaner workarounds, as the
underlying issue in session control object are not fixed) in #2637, this
should be removed.
> I think this limitation is still here. Let's not this and check when we
do the testing.
Ok.
> > There is no chapter about libdhcpsrv.
> I don't think there should be - it is internal to BIND 10 and not
designed for external use.
Ok. It makese sense - dhcpsrv can be considered an internal part of our
daemons.
It seems that there are things that can be still improved in the
documentation, but we don't have to do everything in one step. I think the
ticket is ready for merge.
