RE: Changing CHROOT at BIND compile time

[Todd Snyder]

Please ignore me - I realized too late that someone else was installing
BIND as I was compiling, and that created the directory I was seeing.

I realize now that BIND wouldn't be creating this ... it was silly of me
to assume that.

Cheers,

Todd.

Subject: Changing CHROOT at BIND compile time

Good day,

I am working at building BIND, and I will admit right now that I am not
much of a developer.  I noticed that when you compile/make/install BIND,
it creates /var/named/chroot as the default chroot jail.  We don't use
that particular standard, and have been simply moving things afterwards.


However, I'm wondering if there is a way to define, at compile time,
where the chroot will be created, so that we don't have to do the
intermediate movement step?  I've been trying to dig through the
configure script, and through the Makefile to find this, but as I said
before, I'm not much of a developer, and I'm not really familiar with
the processes.

I'm guessing that there must be a way to change this, as everything is
just makefiles/source at compile time, but I am not sure where to look.

Thanks much,

Todd.

BIND doesn't create a chroot directory. BIND doesn't have a default chroot 
directory.

I think you are seeing that from something else.

named doesn't create the chroot directory.

The chroot directory is defined on the named command line with -t switch.

We currently don't have option to define this at compile time. Start 
looking at the ns_g_chrootdir in the code.
