Short: Bind4 nameserver for AmiTCP v1.0 beta Author: sichler@rumms.uni-mannheim.de (Stefan Sichler) Uploader: sichler rumms uni-mannheim de (Stefan Sichler) Type: comm/tcp Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a "quick and dirty", but direct port of a bind-4.9.2 nameserver taken from a BSD4.4 distribution. I have not done much testing yet, but it seems to run stable so far. I'd like to emphasis that this server is NOT perfect, but I needed a server with "full" functionality, compared with the two other servers named.lha and named403.lha, that I've seen on Aminet. Some of the features: * handles standard and inverse queries * supports query forwarding * allows zone transfers (via named-xfer) * allows query logging The following things differ from the Unix version: *** !!!!PLEASE READ CAREFUL!!!! *** * needs ixemul.library (don't know the version... I use 47.3) * Configfile location defaults to "AmiTCP:db/named.boot" (can be changed by -b option) * named and named-xfer location is "AmiTCP:serv/" * The logfile (in debug mode) is stored as "AmiTCP:log/named.log" * The server may NOT be run from inetd :-( * The only signal the server accepts is CTRL-C, which stops it. -> no database dumps or in/decreasing of debug level while running possible :-( * All files that the Unix version would store in "/var/tmp" will be stored in "T:" * No pid file is generated -> named.reload / named.restart scripts won't work, so I did not include them in this archive * I removed some startup messages of the server that would cause my AmiTCP-log winow to popup INSTALLATION ============ To install it, run the "install.bat" script. This will install the daemons and the man pages and add a small addition to the User-Startnet script. (You will probably want to add AmiTCP:man to your man path to view the man pages correctly) The configuration examples will NOT be installed, because they are only examples and won't work! So in order to get the server to work, you should first read the man pages that will be installed in AmiTCP:man and then you should CREATE YOUR CONFIG FILES and restart AmiTCP. Good luck...
