Hi, I've just committed named dbus support to NetworkManager. This does away with launching named as a child process, and uses an existing named process (that has been dbus-enabled). All communication is via dbus.
Pros: 1) Implementation is much cleaner, easier to follow. 2) Will fall back to resolv.conf when no dbus-enabled named is found 3) removes almost twice as much code as it adds 4) Fixes long-standing "DNS stops resolving" bug Cons: 1) Requires patches to named in other distributions If you're not using a caching-nameserver already, this shouldn't affect you and therefore you don't care. If you are using Fedora Core or you _are_ using a caching-nameserver, you care about the following: o Update to bind-9.3.1-14, currently in Rawhide o Modify your /etc/sysconfig/named to include the line: OPTIONS="-D" o Start named on startup: /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 named on And you're good to go. Rawhide RPMs will come along soon. Dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
