Re: [gentoo-user] Does this qualify as some bug ?
While trying to prevent 'net-dns/pdnsd' to listen on TCP and on to avoid TCP queries, I changed 'tcp_server' parameter to 'off' and 'query_method' parameter to 'udp_only' in /etc/pdnsd/pdnsd.conf . But when I restarted pdnsd I found it is still listening on TCP. I checked /etc/conf.d/pdnsd and found no option related to listening to 'TCP' set. So, then I checked /etc/init.d/pdnsd and I found that 'pdnsd' has been launched with '-t' command line argument (enables the TCP server thread. pdnsd will then serve TCP and UDP queries.) . So to disable, I need to append '--notcp' to PDNSDCONFIG in /etc/conf.d/pdnsd. So I think, listening shouldn't be made by default, even if it is, then it should be in configuration file, not in init.d script . Since noone answered, I'll try. I'm not into the details of your problem but I have the impression your suggestion should be stated to the pdnsd developing community, not on gentoo. I'd qualify it as bug, but YMMV, and again, I don't know much about it. ralf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Init scripts are distribution specific (at last, gentoo has different ones that other distros AFAIK). So, if you think it is a bug, put it into bugzilla. In the best case, someone will do something about it. In the worst case, the bug will be marked as invalid, wontfix, or something like that. Just don't get annoyed if someone simply tells it is nonsense, the people going trough bugs have too many of them and they are not always completely nice. -- BOFH Excuse #430: Mouse has out-of-cheese-error Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgpMLXdP9W7oG.pgp Description: PGP signature

Let me elaborate it a bit: pdnsd is a DNS server capable of listening on TCP/UDP ports (depending on options in configuration file and commandline). Options set on commandline override what is set is configuration file. And, in init script of this port, the option to listen on TCP ports, i.e. '-t' switch, has been explicitly passed. So, there is no way, one can disable listening on TCP from pdnsd.conf. So one, has to edit '/etc/conf.d/pdnsd' and add --notcp option. In my view, from the point-of least privileges, one has to explicitly turn on listening of daemon on port. So its a problem on Gentoo porting side, not with the pdnsd team.

[gentoo-user] Does this qualify as some bug ?
Hi While trying to prevent 'net-dns/pdnsd' to listen on TCP and on to avoid TCP queries, I changed 'tcp_server' parameter to 'off' and 'query_method' parameter to 'udp_only' in /etc/pdnsd/pdnsd.conf . But when I restarted pdnsd I found it is still listening on TCP. I checked /etc/conf.d/pdnsd and found no option related to listening to 'TCP' set. So, then I checked /etc/init.d/pdnsd and I found that 'pdnsd' has been launched with '-t' command line argument (enables the TCP server thread. pdnsd will then serve TCP and UDP queries.) . So to disable, I need to append '--notcp' to PDNSDCONFIG in /etc/conf.d/pdnsd. So I think, listening shouldn't be made by default, even if it is, then it should be in configuration file, not in init.d script . So does this qualify as a bug ? I'm a new Gentoo user, so I'm not sure if qualifies as some bug.
