I did search the archives. The fix then was to install version 0.65 which is what I have installed. See here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=51EDCE5F.4010006%40godshell.com&forum_name=packetfence-users I have also searched through the files in the PF repo and I do not see a perl-Net-DNS package.

Search the archives this has been answered before. It is a bug in a perl module on which packetfence depends. "Sallee, Stephen (Jake)" <jake.sal...@umhb.edu> wrote: Ludovic! I am so glad to hear from you! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am getting the dependency issue when I include perl-Net-DNS in my yum update. --------<snip>---------- Error: Package: packetfence-4.0.5-2.el6.noarch (@PacketFence) Requires: perl(Net::DNS) = 0.65-4 Removing: perl-Net-DNS-0.65-4.el6.x86_64 (@base) perl(Net::DNS) = 0.65 Updated By: perl-Net-DNS-0.66-1.of.el6.x86_64 (of) perl(Net::DNS) = 0.66 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest --------</snip>--------- So I'm looking into that. However I found something interesting. One of my registration clients is sending a strange DNS query and every time pfdns sees it, it crashes. The query is exactly: ng="utf-8".umhb.edu<http://umhb.edu> I blocked that IP from send ing queries to PF and the service hasn't crashed since. I have tried to send this query to my test server to see if I can replicate the behavior but I need to edit the pcap to make it go to the test server. I can send you a link to DL the pcap if you are interested in looking at it. Also, any idea on the dependency issue is most welcome too : ) Thank you again.

Fellow PF users, I am in need of your assistance! My production PF box is having the pfdns service crash every few seconds. I am working on getting some pcaps to see if it is network based but I cannot find anything on the logs. It seems to be failing completely silently. I would appreciate any assistance yo u ca n offer.
