#!/bin/sh # Start/stop/restart the BIND name server daemon (named). # Start BIND. In the past it was more secure to run BIND as a non-root # user (for example, with '-u daemon'), but the modern version of BIND # knows how to use the kernel's capability mechanism to drop all root # privileges except the ability to bind() to a privileged port and set # process resource limits, so running as a non-root user is not needed. # But if you want to run as a non-root user anyway, the command options # can be set like this in /etc/default/named: # NAMED_OPTIONS="-u daemon" # So you will not have to edit this script. # # Please note that if you run BIND as a non-root user, your files in # /var/named may need to be chowned to this user or else named will # refuse to start. # You might also consider running BIND in a "chroot jail", # a discussion of which may be found in # /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Chroot-BIND-HOWTO. # One last note: rndc has a lot of other nice features that it is not # within the scope of this start/stop/restart script to support. # For more details, see "man rndc" or just type "rndc" to see the options. # Load command defaults: if [ -f /etc/default/named ] ; then . /etc/default/named ; fi if [ -f /etc/default/rndc ] ; then . /etc/default/rndc ; fi # Sanity check.
