I'm not sure how you would solve it like that. The version of syslogd on Owl 1.1 did not support listening on multiple sockets, and this functionality is needed in order for named to continue logging even if syslogd is restarted and named is not. Would you patch syslogd's init script to also restart named? That would be a hack. Of course, you can simply drop this stuff and be aware of the need to restart named manually whenever you restart syslogd. Andreas wrote: > >Other than that, I agree with Solar.

That is, download the latest version from the ISC, compile it, and install it under /opt - without the use of RPM and without our patches. If you would like to use the Owl package of BIND, then I think that upgrading to Owl 2.0 would be the most straightforward way - and it has other advantages, too. -- Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com> GPG key ID: B35D3598 fp: 6429 0D7E F130 C13E C929 6447 73C3 A290 B35D 3598 http://www.openwall.com - bringing security into open computing environments Was I helpful?
