Hello,
I have followed all the instructions from
http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/dns/djbdns-freebsd.shtml
to install and run a dns caching services using djbdns.
I have the svscan process up and running.
2454 ?? S 0:00.07 svscan /var/service
And yet when I changed the /etc/resolv.conf so that the nameserver is
127.0.0.1 and not my ISP's one, I got "host lookup did not complete" from
exim. Neither could I run lynx as it did not load its default page nor any
other for that matter. I used the simplest possible host cache configuration
so that the caching service is available only to the FBSD machine.
I am trying to find out what went wrong. For the time being I have changed
the resolv file back to the DNS server of my ISP.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I suspect that it was the
problem with rehash command. The instructions are as follows:
chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/services.sh
ln -s /usr/local/etc/rc.d/services.sh /usr/local/sbin/services
rehash; services start
Now when I came to the rehash command, I saw in my tty that command was
not found. I just sheepishly went on and issued services restart.
Could that be the reason why DNS is not working? I killed svscan (I think
it was automatically started again) but it did not help.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
