Hello, It's my third attempt to send this to the list - two previous didn't get through, so please excuse me for possible duplicates if they appear later...
Due to recent exploits I have to upgrade to the newest version of BIND. My DNS server is a quite old machine, running BIND 4 on Solaris 2.5.1. I didn't upgrade because the OS lacks many libraries and syscalls and it's hard to get newest versions of programs compiled under it. The machine is about to be completely replaced by a new one running under Solaris 9, but the migration is delaying due to various reasons and it can take several months until it is finished. However, because of the recent vulnerabilities, BIND has to be upgraded *now*. And here I have some problem. I successfully compiled BIND 9.5.0-P1 on my system, but when I run "make test" after the build, some of the tests fail. The tests that fail are: cacheclean, forward, lwresd, rrsetorder and upforwd (the same applies for BIND 9.4.2-P1). My question is: how severe is this? Can something bad happen if I run the nameserver with these tests failing or may I safely ignore this? I can send the detailed test output if needed. What else can I do to make BIND work all OK?
