Yes the tinydns component of djbdns needs that specific ID. Per DJB (the author) three ID's are needed for a basic installation of djbns.
Johannes Hessellund pointed out that a fourth ID is needed for an optional step in the set up of djbdns, so I added that ID as well, and references the URL's to DJB's documentation where both are specified. I have documented my steps of the basic installation using the Ubuntu packages rather than compiling from source here: http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/HOW-TO_Basic_installation_of_Daniel_J_Bernstein_djbdns_TinyDNS_on_Ubuntu_Linux If not in the djbdns package, then in the dnscache-run package. Those are the only two packages I must add to a system in order to set up a basic djbdns implementation. (Yes, those two drag on dependencies as well.) Aaahhh, the binary that the Gtinydns ID is passed in as an arg to comes from the djbdns package, not the dnscache-run package. So yes, I would think at least the original three I proposed need to be added by djbdns. And the same is true for the axfrdns account, the binary that needs it also comes with djbdns and not a separate package. I just have never needed that one, aparently Johannes Hessellund has. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518393 Title: Gtinydns id not created, but two other id's created -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
