The problem is not on the master.

Yukk. that's an old version - it should be 8.2.2pl7!

The directory where the slave files are written to must be owned by
.  Temporary files are written to that directory and then
renamed...  This is what fails in your case.

[SLUG] named slave

2000-12-13 Thread David


I'm having trouble getting slave nameservers to transfer correctly.

/var/log/messages (slave DNS host) says:

Dec 13 18:53:42 fast named[21052]: rcvd NOTIFY(duelplay.com.au, IN, SOA)
from [203.23.36.1].1034
Dec 13 18:53:42 fast named-xfer[21179]: can't make tmpfile
(named.duelplay.Lm0CQb): Permission denied 

The master server behaves properly, serial numbers are correct. Both boxes
are standard RH6 setups. The slave server is working, but I can't get it
to update when I restart the master. The master host's log does not
indicate any problem.

The master DNS runs as root, but on the slave host, named runs as uid
 and all files are owned by . I don't know why they are
different, and I don't remember ever doing anything to make them
different. What should they be?

TIA, David
