335. tools/nsquery.c and tools/nstest.c were moved to contrib/old/.
|
|
|
|
334. Portability changes for HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, SCO UNIX.
|
|
|
|
333. INVQ (inverse query support) now defaults to "off".
|
|
|
|
332. Some of the internal hashing logic for syslog() rate limiting was not
|
|
accurate (more things were logged than should have been).
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta12-patch2 released ---
|
|
|
|
331. Default domain in $INCLUDE files is now intuitive (rather than ".").

|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta12 released ---
|

|
319. Fixed DiG so that ". IN NS" was the default if no args are given. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
318. Merged the resolver with 4.4BSD's; made a BSD/ subdirectory off the main
|
|
tree for easy integration into BSD/OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, et al; moved the
|
|
"master" subdirectory to "conf/master" to cut down on top level clutter.
|
|
|
|
317. Lots of last minute fiddling to make Beta12 "right". (cast of thousands)

|
|
|
316. Minor byte order bug in BIND_NOTIFY. (Grange)

|
|
|
|
306. conf/Info.* moved to new directory doc/info/*. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
305. NOTIFY could cause multiple simultaneous axfr's. (Andrews; Vixie)
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta11-patch4 released ---
|
|
|
|
304. Minor fixes to PURGE_ZONE, CLEANCACHE, RETURNSOA, and dig. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
303. LOC RR support is now in. (Chris Davis; Vixie)
|
|
|
|
302. General portability stuff (with ISC leanings). (Mark Galbraith)
|
|
|
|
301. Minor DiG portability fix. (Dima Volodin)
|
|
|
|
300. Yet more HINFO fixes. (Gianopoulos)
|
|
|
|
299. Really minor patch to tools/nstest.c, plus AIX fixes. (David Bolen)
|
|
|
|
298. More shres/* fixes. (Davis; Woods)
|
|
|
|
297. Minor SCO fixups. (Eduard Vopicka)
|
|
|
|
296. Fixed #include <signal.h> problem in db_glue.c. (cast of thousands)
|
|
|
|
295. Minor goofs in the sources. (Grange; Gianopoulos)

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
293. Minor #ifdef screwup corrected. (Mohamed Ellozy)
|
|
|
|
292. Small HP-UX portability change. (Truck)
|
|
|
|
291. Minor BOG correction. (Harlan Stenn)
|
|
|
|
290. PX RR support. (Pierluigi Bonetti)
|
|
|
|
289. Made random refresh interval a little more robust. (Miller; Vixie)
|
|
|
|
288. Minor portability changes for DEC OSF/1. (Bob Heiney)
|
|
|
|
287. We now do a setvbuf() on outbound AXFR streams since the system's
|
|
default size causes more write()'s (and therefore TCP segments)
|
|
than we really want. (Paul Mockapetris' idea; Paul Vixie's code.)
|
|
|
|
286. Recast all uses of abort() to call private function panic(). This was
|
|
nec'y since we use the ABRT (IOT) signal to force a statistics dump, and
|
|
having it dump statistics inside of abort() was a bad thing.
|
|
(Mark Andrews noticed the problem; Paul Vixie fixed it.)
|
|
|
|
285. Minor change to top-level Makefile for OSF/1 man pages. (Shapiro)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
279. Minor changes to OPTIONS. (Mark Seiden)
|
|
|
|
278. New option XSTATS (default "on" for now). (Benoit Grange)
|
|
|
|
277. res_mkquery() wasn't calling res_init(). (Philip Gladstone)
|
|
|
|
276. Minor cleanup to shres/INSTALL. (Chris Davis)
|
|
|
|
275. We now set a SO_LINGER on outbound zone transfers. (Peter Wemm; Vixie)
|
|
|
|
274. Minor portability fix for VAX Ultrix. (Stan Barber)
|
|
|
|
273. Fixed two time warp problems. (Bob Heiney; Paul Vixie)
|
|
|
|
272. Named-xfer will now log and error and abort if it encounters an RR type
|
|
it doesn't recognize. (Mark Andrews; Paul Vixie)
|
|
|
|
271. Minor cleanups to the HINFO comparison code in db_update. (Bryan Beecher)
|
|
|
|
270. Made CLEANCACHE less of a CPU hog. (Benoit Grange; Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
269. Add even more branches to the cred/clev decision tree, to make it more
|
|
robust about borderline data at zone cuts. (Jack McCann; Mark Andrews)
|
|

|
268. New option (default: "on" for now): PURGE_ZONE. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
267. Added contrib/misc/{soa-easy,dnsfind}.shar. I will not be including
|
|
this in the b11p2 diffs, though it will be in the next full kit.
|
|
(Tim Cook)
|
|
|
|
266. I finally broke down and made a recommendation in the BOG with respect to
|
|
"nameserver 127.0.0.1". (Greg Woods supplied the patch)
|
|
|
|
265. Minor portability stuff for SunOS. (Greg Woods)
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta11-patch1 released ---
|
|
|
|
264. 900-second check removed; TTL==0 should work now. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
263. Minor db_save() patch for initializing memory. (Bryan Beecher)
|
|
|
|
262. Minor ESIX (SVR4.0.4/gcc) changes. (John Polstra)
|
|
|
|
261. Minor dig-related patch to res_send.c. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
260. Minor line number fix for ns_init(). (Havard Eidnes)
|

|
259. NetBSD shared library stuff is now in contrib/misc/netbsd-shlib.shar.

|
|
|
|
254. Minor ndc.sh build problem. (Michael Corrigan)
|
|
|
|
253. Minor coding inconsistency in res/res_comp.c. (Jeff Schreiber; Vixie)
|
|
|
|
252. Minor BOG addition (SIGIOT). (Bryan Knowles)
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta11 released ---
|
|
|
|
251. If a master zone's serial number goes backwards, named now logs a
|
|
warning. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
250. Minor portability nit in ns_forw(). (Simon Leinen)
|
|
|
|
249. Another portability problem fixed in ndc.sh. (Corrigan)

|
|
|
248. Declaration problem with findZonePri() fixed. (Corrigan)
|
|
|
|
247. References to CNAMES from MX/NS/MB will now be explicitly logged. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
246. Made the BIND_NOTIFY logic more robust; it still does not match the
|
|
current I-D (no delays yet). (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
245. Fixed a writable-string problem. Added a lot of ANSI "const"'s. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta10-patch1 released ---
|
|
|
|
244. Added shres/PROBLEMS file. (Chris Davis)
|
|
|
|
243. Corrected the BOG on the meaning of ".". (Doug Luce, Paul Vixie)
|
|
|
|
242. SOA's can now be stored in $INCLUDE files. (John Lind)
|
|
|
|
241. Rejection of 0.0.0.0 had a potential seg fault. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
240. NoRecurse wasn't preventing queries for missing glue. (Mark Andrews)
|
|
|
|
239. WKS nonaggregation test had bad length. (Ed Clarke, Chris Britton)
|
|
|
|
238. NeXT library problem worked around. (Greg Wohletz)
|
|
|
|
237. Core dump fixed in the dprintf() macro. (Eric Murray)

|
|
|
|
235. Adds and changes to contrib/:
|
|
Added contrib/misc/dnstools.shar, from alt.sources. (Eric Murray)
|
|
Added contrib/misc/settransfer.shar (nonrecommended). (Tom Brisco)
|
|
Updated contrib/host/* with latest public version. (Eric Wassenaar)
|
|
Updated contrib/host/makezones with latest pub. version. (Philip Hazel)
|
|
|
|
234. Made the "ps" command needed by ndc.sh a configurable parameter.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta10 released ---
|
|
|
|
233. Added and reordered a lot of code in ns_resp() to cause it to be
|
|
slighly harder to spoof with bad packets. More work needs to be done,
|
|
so that named will be as spoof-proof as the resolver has become. (Vixie.)
|
|
|
|
232. Added new RR types to include/arpa/nameser.h, per RFC 1700. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
231. New "ndc" command. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
230. The VALIDATE option is now formally deprecated. It has bugs its detection
|
|
of invalid responses, and is known to mutilate perfectly valid CNAME
|
|
responses, to the detriment of clients. This code will likely be deleted
|
|
in the next BIND release, to be replaced by an ``always restart query''
|
|
strategy. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
229. Moved a syslog() so that primary as well as secondary loads are logged.
|
|
|
|
228. Resolver functions now reliably set h_errno. (Vixie, Wassenaar)
|
|
|
|
227. Expired zones now lose their cached serial number information, giving
|
|
an opportunity to refresh a zone after a serial number goes backward.
|
|
(Andrews)
|
|
|
|
226. Sun386i support crept in on little cat feet. (Brownlee)
|
|
|
|
225. UDP packets could be overstuffed by 12 bytes. (Reilly, Vixie)
|
|
|
|
224. failing connect()'s in named-xfer will no longer be logged. (Andrews)
|
|
|
|
223. merged IETF stream (Vixie):
|
|
a. made ALLOW_UPDATES even more optional (it will disappear soon);
|
|
b. added NOTIFY option (experimental);
|
|
c. cleaned up some comments;
|
|
d. removed T_SA (was experimental, replaced by ROUND_ROBIN);
|
|
e. made named/Makefile's default CFLAGS -g (it usually inherits -O);
|
|
f. random code cleanup;
|
|
g. some internal errors are now fatal instead of warnings.
|
|
these changes were brought in once it became clear that there would be
|
|
another Beta of 4.9.3.
|
|
|
|
222. tools/Makefile was using "make" instead of "${MAKE}". (Day)
|
|
|
|
221. yet another bug was found and fixed in the SUNSECURITY code. (Brown)
|
|
|
|
220. a variable reuse problem in the SUNSECURITY syslog()'s in gethnamaddr.c
|
|
was fixed. (Wohletz, Wemm, Vixie)
|
|
|
|
219. "stub" root zones now affect the hint cache (STUBS is experimental).
|
|
in this situation it is reasonable to not have a "cache" directive,
|
|
and some code was reordered to make this possible. (Andrews)
|
|
|
|
218. contrib/umich/lame-delegation/LISA-VI-paper.ps is now a proper
|
|
PostScript(tm) file. (Davis)
|
|
|
|
217. syslog() cleanups in named-xfer.c. (Vixie, Barrett)
|
|
|
|
216. shres/Makefile now forces -O. (Braniss, Ray)
|
|
|
|
215. New contrib/misc/ctldns.sh. (Bush)
|
|
|
|
214. New contrib/misc/dns-peers.info. (Wolfhugel)
|
|
|
|
213. BOG and named(8) fixes. (Paffrath, Vixie, Hawkinson)
|
|
|
|
212. database input errors will no longer cause the following line to
|
|
be ignored. (Gianopoulos)
|
|
|
|
211. the TXT RR fixes done so far in 4.9.3 have been backed out; we're
|
|
back to the 4.9.2 behaviour. (Gianopoulos)
|
|
|
|
210. the authority section will no longer duplicate the answer section
|
|
if both would contain the same NS RR set. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta9-patch1 released ---
|
|
|
|
209. installed marka's patch to CRED that fixes BETA9's flaw.
|
|
|
|
208. added comment to README about -l44bsd and inet_aton().
|
|
|
|
207. new directory: contrib/multizdb. highly nonrecommended.
|
|
|
|
206. small NextStep change in Makefile.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta9 released ---
|
|
|
|
205. minor Makefile fix after beta9 was previewed on bind-workers; also, a
|
|
new file conf/Info.Linux-more has been included.
|
|
|
|
204. BOG fixes.
|
|
|
|
203. netlists elements are now
|
|
{ addr [ "&" mask ] }
|
|
which for the EBNF-impaired, means that "&" introduces an explicit mask.
|
|
implicit masks are either by-class or 0xffffffff, depending on ALLOW_HOSTS
|
|
in the call to get_netlist().
|
|
|
|
202. name compression is now case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
201. duplicate RRDATA won't trigger the new "auth warning" in db_update().
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta8-patch2 released ---
|
|
|
|
200. added a haveComplained() to limit auth warnings.
|
|
|
|
199. fixed idiotic code reordering from patch1.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta8-patch1 released ---
|
|
|
|
198. a bad-string-termination bug was fixed in getnetanswer().
|
|
|
|
197. an uninitialized-variable bug was fixed in db_update().
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta8 released ---
|
|
|
|
196. Several minor corrections were made to the BOG.
|
|
|
|
195. "clev" now distinguishes between root and TLD (wasn't worth a darn before)
|
|
|
|
194. empty nodes in authority zones are now protected from non-auth updates.
|
|
(most of db_update() was rewritten to fix/support this.)
|
|
|
|
193. negative cache items weren't updated before, now they are.
|
|
|
|
192. zone updates from answers were prevented for new types but not if some
|
|
rr already existed with that type. fixed. also syslogged.
|
|
|
|
191. the cache now distinguishes between authoritative answers and zone rr's.
|
|
|
|
190. negative cache items are now marked appropriately authoritative.
|
|
|
|
189. CRED is no longer optional.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
171. doc changes for shres/*.

|
|
170. fixed debugging output problem in ns_req.c.

|
|
|
168. minor functionality change in named/ns_validate.c.
|
|
|
|
167. minor lint in res/res_comp.c.
|

|
|
|
160. minor Makefile changes.
|
|
|
|
159. processes which send outbound zone transfers now close all inherited

|
|
158. various lint involving options which are rarely defined.

|
|
|
|
148. dn_expand() will fail on names which have bad characters in them.
|
|
|
|
147. disappearing zones could cause a core dump in syslog() - fixed.
|
|
|
|
146. text of warnings in named-xfer corrected.
|
|
|
|
145. limited DGUX, RISCOS support added.
|
|
|
|
144. contrib/sunlibc/Makefile MFLAGS/MARGS problem fixed.
|
|
|
|
143. another SunOS recv() bug has been worked around.
|
|
|
|
142. various BOG fixes.
|
|
|
|
141. updated master/root.cache file from latest InterNIC version.
|
|
|
|
140. Added ``max-fetch'' to named(8).
|
|
|
|
139. NOT_BIND problem in named/tree.c fixed.
|
|
|
|
138. minor lint, memory leaks, and portability problems were fixed.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta3 released ---
|
|
|
|
137. some serious (and recently) dynamic memory bugs were killed.
|
|
|
|
136. a reference to uninitialized data was fixed in res_query().
|
|
|
|
135. a RES_STAYOPEN-related bug was fixed in res_send().
|
|
|
|
134. isascii() and isxdigit() now simulated on systems which lack them.
|
|
|
|
133. named's local setproctitle() has been renamed to avoid system conflicts.
|
|
|
|
132. minor bugfix to negative caching code.
|
|
|
|
131. minor bugfix in validation code.
|
|
|
|
130. the typestats[] multiple definition problem was fixed.
|
|
|
|
129. some Sequent portability changes were folded in.
|
|
|
|
128. a new contrib/sunlibc was donated, but hasn't been tested.
|
|
|
|
127. minor changes to contrib/sunlibc/Info.*. is anybody using shres/*, tho?
|
|
|
|
126. STDIN_FILENO and STDOUT_FILENO are now defined by conf/portability.h.
|
|
|
|
125. there is now a ``max-fetch'' directive in the boot file (see the BOG).
|
|
|
|
124. there is now a RENICE option in conf/options.h.
|
|
|
|
123. the toplevel Makefile has been made slightly more readable.
|
|
|
|
122. <<DELETED>>
|
|
|
|
121. minor fixups in the lame delegation code.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta2 released ---
|
|
|
|
120. I upgraded my "-me" macros so that the included doc/bog/file.psf is OK.
|
|
|
|
119. NXDOMAIN responses from the negative cache will now always be
|
|
authoritative. this is the least of all evils, trust me.
|
|
|
|
118. strcasecmp() in compat/lib is now ANSI compliant.
|
|
|
|
117. PTR RR's are no longer subject to ROUND_ROBIN processing.
|
|
|
|
116. writev() emulation for SCO had a bug.
|
|
|
|
115. the resolver no longer calls sscanf() or qsort().
|
|
|
|
114. minor debugging nit cleaned up in res_querydomain().
|
|
|
|
113. IP options on incoming connections are now logged and ignored. This
|
|
should probably be done for datagrams as well but not today.
|
|
|
|
112. tree.c made portable to non-POSIX/ANSI systems.
|
|
|
|
111. NSAP RR's are now supported. NSAP_PTR RR's are deprecated and so left out.
|
|
|
|
110. outbound zone transfers are now logged.
|
|
|
|
109. various lint cleaned up wrt 16-bit integer handling.
|
|
|
|
108. named-xfer was exiting bogusly on some systems due to flakey kernel
|
|
interfaces. i've rewritten some of the code to avoid the problem,
|
|
and fixed plenty of lint in the process.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3-beta1 released ---
|
|
|
|
107. Apollo systems were dumping core because of a missing #include <resolv.h>.
|
|
|
|
106. NSAP and NSAP_PTR RR's now recognized by res_debug() (but nothing else).
|
|
|
|
105. NeXTstep 2.1/3.0 and Pyramid dcosx now nominally supported.
|
|
|
|
104. res_querydomain() was doing Bad things if given an empty name.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3.a5.p4 published ---
|
|
|
|
103. named-xfer's exit cause is now syslog()'d more often/clearly (Paul Vixie).
|
|
|
|
102. I left out a ";" in the new compat/lib/ftruncate.c file (Craig Leres).
|
|
|
|
101. X25, ISDN, and RT RR support have been added (Michael A. Meiszl).
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3.a5.p3 published ---
|
|
|
|
100. Another glitch (very minor this time) was found and fixed in the
|
|
QSERIAL logic. This was a performance problem only -- reliability
|
|
wasn't affected (Bob Heiney).
|
|
|
|
99. SCO UNIX is now supported, thanks in part to Michael A. Meiszl.
|
|
|
|
98. I witlessly used a GCC-only feature (automatic aggregate initialization)
|
|
in a5p2. Kazuhisa Shimizu was the first to report it.
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3.a5.p2 published ---
|
|
|
|
97. NEC EWS4800 EWS-UX/V Rel4.0/Rel4.2 support (from Kazuhisa Shimizu).
|
|
|
|
96. Some of the security checking logic in the new res/gethnamaddr.c's
|
|
getanswer() was happening in the wrong order (thanks, Bob Heiney).
|
|
|
|
95. Minor typo in the man/host.1 man page (caught by Robert Elz).
|
|
|
|
94. DiG was groping core if given more than 10 tokens in a lookup string
|
|
(Michael J. Corrigan provided the fix).
|
|
|
|
93. Queries to INADDR_ANY ("0.0.0.0") come back from the system's primary
|
|
interface, and res_send() was discarding them. A proper fix would add
|
|
a lot of code to the resolver, so for now we'll just work around it
|
|
(Michael J. Corrigan reported this).
|
|
|
|
92. The "data outside zone" syslog message was misleading (Bob Heiney).
|
|
|
|
--- 4.9.3.a5.p1 published ---
|
|
|
|
91. res/gethnamaddr.c wouldn't compile on non-BSD systems since it depended
|
|
on LOG_AUTH which is a post-4.3 feature (Bob Heiney reported this).
|
|
|
|
****** 4.9.3-alpha5 released ******
|
|
|
|
90. redid most of my previous round of prototyping now that i truly
|
|
understand which variables and parameters should be u_char and which
|
|
ones should be char. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
89. added (optional) prototypes for _getshort() and _getlong(); this means
|
|
the calls all need casts of their argument since it usually isn't a
|
|
u_char*. Also prototyped res_query(), res_search, and the nominally
|
|
private but for some reason not static res_querydomain(). (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
88. security related: responses from servers we didn't query are now ignored
|
|
by the resolver; answers with QDCOUNT!=1 are treated as errors; name
|
|
mismatches in the question or any part of the answer field are syslog()'d
|
|
and ignored. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
87. fixed a bug in the SUNSECURITY stuff. (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
86. a long standing bug in the name hashing code that caused it to ``hash in''
|
|
the case of the name's characters, was found and fixed. (twice.) (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
85. Bob Heiney did some performance analysis and concluded that samedomain()
|
|
was soaking down cycles at a rate disproportionate to its usefulness; he
|
|
reimplemented it in a way that violated the (good,fast,cheap) rule.
|
|
|
|
84. the RFC1101 implementation of getnetby*() was using case-sensitive
|
|
string compares.
|
|
|
|
83. fp_query() will no longer try to format packets larger than PACKETSZ,
|
|
and for perversity, dig and named are now prepared to handle replies
|
|
(via TCP) larger than PACKETSZ. new function: __fp_nquery(). (Vixie)
|
|
|
|
82. multiline initial syslog() is fixed (Bill G).
|
|
|
|
81. Don Lewis sent in a big update for the lame delegation logic. Vixie fixed
|
|
one bug. Bryan Beecher had a big hand in this.
|
|
|
|
80. TCP replies can now be up to 8K in size (don walsh).
|
|
|
|
79. validation bug fixed (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
78. BOG patches from mike minnich and others.
|
|
|
|
77. more lint fixes for Cray (norb brotz).
|
|
|
|
76. a new hostname(7) man page was contributed by Art Harkin.
|
|
|
|
75. DESTINC is now a settable Makefile parameter (Marion Hakanson).
|
|
|
|
74. the zones-not-transferring bug is finally gone.
|
|
|
|
73. now using LOG_PERROR in openlog(); many parallel dprintf()'s are gone.
|
|
|
|
72. inability to retrieve serial number via UDP now forces TCP transfer.
|
|
|
|
71. removing secondary zone files and SIGHUP'ing will now force a transfer.
|
|
|
|
70. "cache" directives can now specify "/class" as documented in the BOG.
|
|
|
|
69. Mark Andrews' fix for the ns_forw core dump is in.
|
|
|
|
68. Keith Bostic fixed some typo's in the man pages.
|
|
|
|
67. Compiling without NCACHE is possible now (John Hanley).
|
|
|
|
66. Bill Gianopoulos and Alan Barrett finally agreed on what glue was and
|
|
Bill's alpha4 patch is mostly gone now, and one new idea was added.
|
|
|
|
65. BOG improvements (Vixie, Brooks).
|
|
|
|
64. Mark Andrews' CLEANCACHE (recommended) and RETURNSOA (__NOT__ recommended!)
|
|
are in. RETURNSOA should not be enabled at this time; there's nothing
|
|
wrong with the code but it will cause cache corruption in older servers
|
|
and may not be necessary. The jury is still out.
|
|
|
|
63. outbound zone transfers are now logged (requested by Ron Johnson).
|
|
|
|
62. serial number queries sent out for zone transfer purposes will now be
|
|
limited to a maximum of four (4) simultaneous outstanding; this keeps
|
|
BIND from overflowing its UDP socket buffer when hundreds of zones must
|
|
be checked (still trying to fix Paul Pomes' problem).
|
|
|
|
61. short A RR's in responses will no longer lead to purify errors due to short
|
|
malloc()'s in savedata() (thanks to Nicholas Briggs for reporting this).
|
|
|
|
****** 4.9.3-alpha4 released ******
|
|
|
|
60. manifest constants used instead of "sizeof({u_,}int{16,32}_t)", for
|
|
systems which lack 16- and 32-bit integers (paul vixie for norm brotz).
|
|
|
|
59. zone transfer anti-glue logic made RFC1034-compliant (bill gianopoulos).
|
|
|
|
58. seg fault in sysquery() (from LAME_DELEGATION) fixed (mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
****** 4.9.3-alpha3 released ******
|
|
|
|
57. a big, hefty patch was made to the negative caching logic (mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
56. named-xfer will no longer scramble the default origin (alan barrett).
|
|
|
|
55. random bits of lint found and removed (mario guerra).
|
|
|
|
54. convexos-10 is now supported (jukka ukkonen).
|
|
|
|
53. seg fault in database dumps (from VALIDATE) fixed (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
52. problem with extra bogus 0.0.0.0 A RR's from VALIDATE fixed (mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
51. the LAME_DELEGATION logic once written into 4.8.3 by don lewis has
|
|
been substantially reworked and put into 4.9.3-alpha3 (bryan beecher).
|
|
|
|
50. all instances of "sizeof(HEADER)" were changed to "HFIXEDSZ" to make
|
|
life easier for the cray. also, "struct HEADER" in include/arpa/nameser.h
|
|
uses just bit fields now, for portability to 64-bit systems without
|
|
16-bit integer types. (norb brotz suggested it; paul vixie did it).
|
|
|
|
49. build changes for NeXT and AIX systems (artur romao; c. wolfhugel).
|
|
|
|
48. random sunshlib changes (piete brooks).
|
|
|
|
47. minor fixes for solaris build (carson gaspar; paul pomes).
|
|
|
|
48. a few bugs were wrung out of the BOG (per hedeland; vixie).
|
|
|
|
****** 4.9.3-alpha2 released ******
|
|
|
|
47. several obscure Makefile problems were fixed (vixie).
|
|
|
|
46. there is now a per-primary-NS quota for simultaneous zone transfers; this
|
|
will cut down on the retry thrashing seen on servers that are secondary for
|
|
thousands of zones (vixie).
|
|
|
|
45. a bug introduced by change #23 has been fixed (marten terpstra; apb).
|
|
|
|
44. the "data outside zone" messages are now consistent (piete brooks; vixie).
|
|
|
|
43. several #include's were reordered in res/*.c and a few #ifdef's were
|
|
changed; BIND should now run OK on DGUX (henry miller).
|
|
|
|
42. several changes to the conf/options.h and Makefile (vixie):
|
|
-> SVR4 has been added as a top-level Makefile CDEFS option
|
|
-> SYSV has moved from conf/options.h to the top level Makefile
|
|
-> INVQ is now an "#ifdef" rather than a "#if"
|
|
|
|
41. resolver no longer uses initialized static data, which should make shared
|
|
libraries easier to generate (vixie did it, at the urging of many others).
|
|
|
|
40. now compiles on Apollo DomainOS (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
****** 4.9.3-alpha1 released ******
|
|
|
|
39. lots of lint found and fixed (craig leres).
|
|
|
|
38. illegal enum compare fixed in named/ns_stats.c (vixie).
|
|
|
|
37. missing ')' added in SUNSECURITY section of res/gethnamaddr.c (h miller).
|
|
|
|
****** 4.9.3-prealpha released ******
|
|
|
|
36. ***REMOVED***
|
|
|
|
35. various bugs were fixed in the negative caching (vixie; mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
34. several debugging and dump output problems were fixed (mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
33. TXT RR's can now be read from zone files even if they lack quotes;
|
|
the RFC doesn't say quotes are needed (jim martin).
|
|
|
|
32. limited support for AIX-3 is now included (christoph wolfhugel).
|
|
|
|
31. SUNSECURITY is now an obvious default in ./Makefile (p killey; b beecher).
|
|
|
|
30. VC queries that time out are now GC'd and SERVFAIL'd (mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
29. HP-UX 9.0's top-level makefile variables have been changed (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
28. various fixes for tools/host.c (jim martin; mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
27. syslog messages logged by SUNSECURITY will now include the address of
|
|
the host that's having problems (david morrison).
|
|
|
|
26. systems whose connect() calls fail if a socket is already connect()'d
|
|
will now have their sockets closed and recreated in res_send() (piete
|
|
brooks; mark andrews; vixie).
|
|
|
|
25. res_send() will now corrected reset its "connected" variable when the
|
|
connectedness of a socket changes (mark andrews).
|
|
|
|
24. SERVFAIL responses will no longer terminate the res_search() inner loop,
|
|
thus catastrophic problems with early search elements will no longer
|
|
prevent res_search() from trying later search elements (bryan beecher;vix).
|
|
|
|
23. non-NS RR's for delegated subzones will no longer be accepted in a zone
|
|
transfer (alan p barrett).
|
|
|
|
22. the setting for _PATH_PIDFILE is now overridden by the Makefile (l hume).
|
|
|
|
21. named.restart.sh now has a smaller path with %DESTSBIN% first therein;
|
|
this should prevent the vendor version of named from being exec'd by
|
|
accident (leigh hume).
|
|
|
|
20. big change: statistics are now kept "per name server" rather than as
|
|
a single global array. the /var/tmp/named.stats file format has changed
|
|
quite a bit, so older awk/perl scripts are likely to stop working.
|
|
|
|
19. big change: every RR now keeps a pointer to a "nameser" struct; this
|
|
currently permits SIGINT-initiated dumps to include the address of all
|
|
non-zone data, which will help with tracking down corrupt data.
|
|
|
|
18. db_load.c was missing two #ifdef/#endif's for CRED (mike minnich).
|
|
|
|
17. don't aggregate SOA or WKS RR's in the cache (vixie).
|
|
|
|
16. minor cosmetic changes (vixie).
|
|
|
|
15. fixed typo in compat/Makefile ("LIBDIR" -> "DESTDIR") (rob davies).
|
|
|
|
14. fixed spurious "accept: interrupted system calls" (vixie).
|
|
|
|
13. named will now start as many named-xfer's as it should; previously it
|
|
lost track of the need for transfers at the beginning of each maint
|
|
cycle. also, we don't bother asking for an SOA if we know that our
|
|
zone is out of date. i've changed the transfer metrics so that more
|
|
transfers can happen concurrently, and maint cycles come more often.
|
|
(andrew partan; vixie).
|
|
|
|
12. a number of LOG_ERR and LOG_CRIT syslogs were downgraded to LOG_NOTICE
|
|
(rob davies; vixie).
|
|
|
|
11. sequence number checking now treats "zero" as a special case.
|
|
(craig leres; andrew partan; vixie).
|
|
|
|
10. MFLAGS no longer used explicitly, since it is often used implicitly
|
|
(mark andrews; vixie).
|
|
|
|
9. ADDAUTH is no longer considered experimental (tony stoneley; vixie).
|
|
|
|
8. several obscure type bugs fixed (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
7. signal handlers all now preserve errno (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
6. TTL deprecation made more portable (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
5. now compiles on Apollo DomainOS and is generally more POSIX-ish (don lewis).
|
|
|
|
4. bryan beecher's "query" tool has been promoted to tools/ and renamed to
|
|
dnsquery. minor changes were required in several Makefiles (vixie).
|
|
|
|
3. "make links" at the top level will now make a higher resolution link tree,
|
|
which makes porting easier on some systems (ian dickinson).
|
|
|
|
2. Convex feof() bug now has a workaround (jukka ukkonen).
|
|
|
|
1. gethostby*() will no longer overwrite its fixed-size array if a host with
|
|
too many addresses is handled (reported by piete brooks, fixed by vixie).
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------- 4.9.3 above, 4.9.2 below
|
|
|
|
4.9.2 ------------------ FINAL ----------------- Paul Vixie
|
|
|
|
57. updated TODO, README files.
|
|
|
|
56. fix to contrib/sunlibc/Makefile.
|
|
|
|
55. several new items in contrib/.
|
|
|
|
54. Corrected bad command line parsing bug in tools/dig.c; also added the
|
|
old query timing code back in (thanks to Havard Eidnes).
|
|
|
|
53. Ported contrib/decwrl/host.c to the modern interfaces.
|
|
|
|
4.9.2 ------------------ BETA5 ----------------- Paul Vixie
|
|
|
|
52. A number of optimizations that fell out of negative caching and/or the
|
|
validation code have been turned off in order to avoid confusing older
|
|
nameservers and their unfortunate assumptions about co-invariants.
|
|
Mark Andrews and Robert Elz were the principle debuggers and contributors
|
|
to this part of the effort.
|
|
|
|
51. We're now much more portable to systems without Posix or BSD signals,
|
|
thanks to Bill Wisner.
|
|
|
|
50. tools/host.c now has more reasonable error messages and can deal with
|
|
negative caching servers.
|
|
|
|
49. Lots of Makefile gaffes are now fixed.
|
|
|
|
48. New "host" in contrib/host/, complements of Eric Wassenaar.
|
|
|
|
47. AFSDB support is now complete, thanks to Chris Everhart.
|
|
|
|
46. The bug whereby named would sporadically return NXDOMAIN when it should
|
|
have sent back a referral has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
4.9.2 ------------------ BETA3, BETA4 ----------------- Paul Vixie
|
|
|
|
45. Robert Elz has provided updated LOCALDOMAIN environment variable
|
|
processing, making it more like resolv.conf's "search" than "domain".
|
|
In the spirit of this I have added a RES_OPTIONS environment variable
|
|
and a corresponding "options" keyword to resolv.conf. All of this is
|
|
documented in the man pages and in the BOG. Robert has also contributed
|
|
several bug fixes to the validation and negative caching code.
|
|
|
|
4.9.2 ------------------ ALPHA ----------------- Paul Vixie
|
|
|
|
44. BETA1, BETA2, and three patches to BETA2 have all come and gone without
|
|
itemized descriptions in this file. I'll provide the RCS history on the
|
|
code to anyone who asks, but basically what's been happening is that some
|
|
core dumps were fixed, others added, then those were fixed too. Meanwhile
|
|
RFC 1535 has been published, codifying CERT's concerns and our answer to
|
|
them. BIND is now RFC 1535 compatible. RFC's 1535, 1536, and 1537 are
|
|
now included in the doc/ directory. Note that Mark Andrews supplied many
|
|
of the fixes to the core dumps, some of which were introduced by me and
|
|
some by ISI's negative caching and/or validation code.
|
|
|
|
43. patch05 to ALPHA2 (930908) released: this includes new DNSRCH logic to
|
|
correct a serious problem that CERT called me with today. the change is
|
|
subtle and will have the effect that names which could match either as
|
|
fully qualified names or partially qualified names using the local search
|
|
list will be found as fully qualified. previous releases would have found
|
|
them first through the local search list. local search lists are a bad
|
|
idea in my opinion; see new SEARCH_DEFAULT option in OPTIONS file for more
|
|
information. also in this release: limited Solaris support, in the form
|
|
of POSIX-style signal handling used on systems which support (or require)
|
|
it. as of this patch, 4.9.2 has a good chance of compiling out of the box
|
|
on Solaris, modulo makefile edits. dig and host should be more portable
|
|
now, too.
|
|
|
|
42. patch04 to ALPHA2 (930908) released: this corrects several borderline
|
|
syntax errors in various Makefiles (Sun and Ultrix makes complained);
|
|
it corrects a coredump on Ultrix systems (which aren't really as POSIX
|
|
as i thought they were); it lets dig and nslookup compile again on SunOS;
|
|
and it cleans up some dirty junk in named-xfer.c. this stuff is really
|
|
really minor but i would like to see it tested on a Sun system before the
|
|
beta.
|
|
|
|
41. patch03 to ALPHA2 (930908) released: this uses compat/include by default
|
|
which is helpful on BSD/386 systems and shouldn't hurt any others except
|
|
perhaps real 4.4BSD systems (and maybe not even those); it removes Bryan
|
|
Beecher's SHUFFLE_ADDRS option since he and I agree that Marshall Rose's
|
|
ROUND_ROBIN stuff is more general and cleaner; it includes various patches
|
|
to the documentation sent in by several folks (please print the BOG and
|
|
let me know if you find problems in it); it fixes "make depend" problem
|
|
in "man/" subdirectory; it fixes several outright bugs in Gregory Shapiro's
|
|
SECURE_ZONES code; it removes an obscure syslog() that should have been a
|
|
dprintf() ("validate_count -> 0"); it fixes a bug in NCACHE whereby a T_ANY
|
|
query for a name which was negatively cached but had children would return
|
|
_answers_ with the T_ANY type for subsequent queries; several newer syslog
|
|
messages were reworded to make them clearer; a portability bug in the
|
|
SUNSECURITY logic was fixed; another in the RFC1101 logic was fixed;
|
|
support for the PAGER environment variable was added to nslookup (sorry,
|
|
i know we're in functional freeze but this will enable development in the
|
|
next cycle and it was pretty simple) and only affects the "view" and "help"
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
40. patch02 to ALPHA2 (930908) released; this includes more fixed from Mark
|
|
Andrews, this time to Anant's NCACHE stuff (memory leak and functional
|
|
bug). Also included is a patch from Gregory Neil Shapiro to his SECURE_
|
|
ZONES code, which I hadn't noticed since I don't run it here.
|
|
|
|
39. patch01 to ALPHA2 (930908) released; this includes some fixes from Mark
|
|
Andrews to his "clev" and ADDAUTH stuff. The "clev" patch fixes a problem
|
|
on all servers; the ADDAUTH stuff is still experimental so most users will
|
|
not be affected by it. Dave Morrison also sent a patch for the USE_UTIME
|
|
logic, which is important for ULTRIX systems.
|
|
|
|
38. 4.9.2-ALPHA2 released on 930908.
|
|
|
|
37. Mark Andrews sent an initial attempt at implementing ADDAUTH, which will
|
|
eventually allow named to include authority and glue RR's with all
|
|
authoritative answers. I am not sure that the design goal is right, and
|
|
the implementation currently sends back glue RR's but no authority RR's,
|
|
so I'm recommending against using this for now. But since it changes some
|
|
internal interfaces in a harmless enough way, I'm including the changes.
|
|
|
|
36. Marshall Rose's ROUND_ROBIN code snuck in at the last hour. This is the
|
|
best answer I've seen to the problems purported to be solved by SA RR's,
|
|
and my wording in the OPTIONS file shows this.
|
|
|
|
35. These items from TODO is now done:
|
|
|
|
[vixie@pa.dec.com 25apr93]: clean up debugging
|
|
replace all "#ifdef DEBUG...fprintf(...)...#endif" with dprintf(...)
|
|
which would be a macro that only expands to an fprintf() if DEBUG is
|
|
set. dprintf(x, (args)) with x as the log level. perhaps change log
|
|
levels to be symbolic, and perhaps make them a mask instead of a limit.
|
|
|
|
[vixie@pa.dec.com 25apr93]: clean up #ifdef's and portability
|
|
add and use function prototypes. make everything static that can be.
|
|
externs should only be in .h files (add more .h files, per module if
|
|
needed, to cover these). add "export" keyword (null define) to make
|
|
it clear which names are exported and which are static. all top-blevel
|
|
names in a module must be "export" or "static".
|
|
|
|
[gshapiro@wpi.edu and vixie@pa.dec.com 26apr93]: access control
|
|
"xfrnets" is ok but what we really need is full access control per
|
|
zone rather than a global list of acceptable client nets. this is
|
|
especially important if you send /etc/passwd via zone transfer.
|
|
|
|
[postel@isi.edu anant@isi.edu jaffe@noc.rutgers.edu
|
|
28apr93]: negative caching
|
|
Paul:
|
|
We'ed like to have included in 4.9.1
|
|
our implemention for negative caching.
|
|
--jon & Anant.
|
|
|
|
[vixie@pa.dec.com 16may93]: inet_addr needs to die
|
|
to be replaced by calls to inet_aton, which doesn't confuse the
|
|
broadcast address with bad addresses.
|
|
|
|
[Paul: I know you said that you'd like to wait for the IETF DNS WG to
|
|
"bless" an official load balancing scheme, but I'll be adding my
|
|
shuffle A records to BIND 4.9 for use here at U-M anyhow. The code
|
|
mods to existing source files are minimal since the bulk of the work
|
|
is done in a separate .c I added. If you don't want SA records to
|
|
move into 4.9.1 unless they become official, please just toss this
|
|
first entry. --bryan@umich.edu]
|
|
|
|
[bryan@umich.edu 25apr93]: add "shuffle A" records
|
|
There are several schemes for adding some kind of load balancing
|
|
capability to the DNS. Our "Shuffle Address" (SA) records are one
|
|
stab at this, and since they're in use at U-M, I need to add them
|
|
so we can use BIND 4.9 here.
|
|
|
|
[bryan@umich.edu 25apr93]: add AFSDB records
|
|
AFSDB records were proposed in RFC xxxx. We use them here at the
|
|
University of Michigan, so I need to add them for our copy of
|
|
BIND 4.9.
|
|
|
|
[bryan@umich.edu 25apr93]: small fix to resolver's p_cdname()
|
|
The current copy of p_cdname() in the resolver does not work
|
|
for query responses larger than 512 bytes (which can happen when
|
|
using TCP). A very small modification changes the "sanity check"
|
|
argument (the second one) to dn_expand() from "msg + 512" to
|
|
"cp + MAXCDNAME". (This showed up very recently.)
|
|
|
|
34. While waiting for some last minute changes from volunteers, I looked
|
|
at my work queue and saw that asp@uunet.uu.net had asked a while ago
|
|
that named not fork/exec a named-xfer unless it had already determined
|
|
that the serial number was out of date. This is important to sites like
|
|
UUNET and DECWRL, which have thousands of "secondary" lines in their
|
|
named.boot and can take hours to check all the serial numbers at boot
|
|
time if named forks/execs named-xfer and lets named-xfer compare the
|
|
serial numbers, rather than comparing them in named and only fork/exec'ing
|
|
a named-xfer if it's actually neccessary to do a transfer. In spite of
|
|
C's lack of threads, this only took a few hours to do. So it's in.
|
|
|
|
33. Gregory Shapiro's "secure_zone" changes are in. See the BOG.
|
|
|
|
32. Internals changes: STATS is no longer optional; ns_req() has been split
|
|
into three functions for readability. Convex systems are now supported.
|
|
You can now define LOG_FAC in conf/options.h if you want to syslog as
|
|
LOG_LOCAL1 or some other non-LOG_DAEMON value. The mkstemp() problem on
|
|
ULTRIX has been fixed. More dead code has been eliminated.
|
|
|
|
31. Large TCP queries are now printable in debug mode (which is used by
|
|
"dig" and "nslookup"), thanks to a patch and a lot of patient explain-
|
|
ations from Bryan Beecher.
|
|
|
|
30. Data from subdomains ("deeper zones") is now considered more credible
|
|
than data from parent zones, if both are authoritative. This permits
|
|
a subdomain's data to differ from its parents delegation information
|
|
and have the most-local information supercede the least-local. Mark
|
|
Andrews <marka@syd.dms.csiro.au> sent this in, and it is nonoptional.
|
|
|
|
29. rossc@ucc.su.oz.au's SUNSECURITY patch is now included, along with
|
|
marka@syd.dms.csiro.au's performance improvement to it. Note that
|
|
I am violating my own policies by including this, since it came
|
|
without a corresponding patch to OPTIONS, conf/options.h, and the BOG.
|
|
|
|
28. Interfaces with multiple addresses were not being handled properly.
|
|
This is an issue for 4.3-Reno and later BSD systems, including BNR2
|
|
("Net-2") and 4.4BSD. Multiple addresses are not properly handled
|
|
as if they were all aliases for the localhost.
|
|
|
|
27. Jukka Ukkonen <ukkonen@csc.fi> sent me some patches for the Convex,
|
|
which I've put it but cannot test.
|
|
|
|
26. sob@tmc.edu (Stan Barber) sent me new versions of contrib/host/host.c
|
|
and contrib/host/send.c, which I have installed but not tested. I am
|
|
still waiting for someone to update the version in tools/host.c, which
|
|
is going to be a lot more work. Contact me via e-mail if you want to
|
|
help.
|
|
|
|
25. My credibility stuff from the original 4.9 (and before that, KJB)
|
|
was operating under a ``scorched earth'' policy due to a brain fault
|
|
on my part when I wrote the code originally. Tim.Goodwin@pipex.net
|
|
discovered this and sent in a patch. Note that throwing out glue is
|
|
generally OK since glue is generally NOT OK, but disposing of it after
|
|
~20 references is a lot better than disposing of it after 1 reference.
|
|
|
|
24. NS RR sorting on forwarded and system queries was not happening
|
|
unless more than 1024 milliseconds of RTT variance existed among
|
|
the servers. This was a good value for development and testing
|
|
but not for production use. The value is now 128 milliseconds.
|
|
No, this should not be a configurable in the boot file.
|
|
|
|
23. I am including a file doc/FAQ which was posted to usenet as:
|
|
From: craig@ecel.uwa.edu.au (Craig Richmond - division)
|
|
Newsgroups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains
|
|
Subject: FAQ: Setting up a basic DNS server for a domain
|
|
Date: 3 Aug 1993 10:53:51 GMT
|
|
Organization: The University of Western Australia
|
|
Lines: 1088
|
|
Message-ID: <23lg3v$1go@uniwa.uwa.edu.au>
|
|
Summary: Step by Step implementation of a DNS server
|
|
Keywords: FAQ DNS setup
|
|
|
|
22. named-xfer now syslogs if the remote server's serial number is _lower_
|
|
than ours, which does seem like a bad thing. per@erix.ericsson.se
|
|
(Per Hedeland) sent this in.
|
|
|
|
21. man/resolver.3 had a typo on the exp_dn argument to dn_expand. fixed.
|
|
(Steve Alexander <stevea@lachman.com> sent this in.)
|
|
|
|
20. include/sys/cdefs.h moved to compat/include/sys/cdefs.h since some
|
|
systems have their own which must be used. the top-level makefile
|
|
must be edited if you are on one of these systems, since the default
|
|
CFLAGS includes this new directory as a -I directive. sys/bitypes.h
|
|
has also moved.
|
|
|
|
19. A neccessary bug fix for ISI's VALIDATE/NCACHE code has been incorporated.
|
|
If you had to rebuild without these turned on in options.h to get your
|
|
CNAME lookups to work again in an earlier 4.9.2 ALPHA, you can turn them
|
|
on again now.
|
|
|
|
18. The q_system field of the query structure has been removed in favor of
|
|
a q_type field containing bit definitions. The old PRIMING_CACHE magic
|
|
cookie is no longer used. Go to the end of the universe, do not pass go.
|
|
|
|
17. Converted to ANSI C. All functions are static unless they are actually
|
|
needed outside the current module ("file" in C terminology); static
|
|
functions are declared with prototypes if they are forward-referenced.
|
|
Externally visible functions are declared in separate header files, with
|
|
prototypes. ns.h and db.h have been split into four new header files:
|
|
db.h -> db_defs.h db_glob.h db_func.h
|
|
ns.h -> ns_defs.h ns_glob.h ns_func.h
|
|
|
|
The *_defs files contain only structure and type definitions, and macro
|
|
definitions. Nothing that generates text or data space in the executable
|
|
is declared here.
|
|
|
|
The *_glob files contain only global variable declarations, which used to
|
|
be defined in the various *.c files in a more or less random fashion. The
|
|
declarations are "extern" if included from non-main()-containing files, but
|
|
are defined globally and given initial values in main()-ish files. This
|
|
reuse of the same declarations insures that the type and size declarations
|
|
match between definitions and external references to them.
|
|
|
|
The *_func files contains function prototypes for global ("extern")
|
|
functions. The prototypes are all optional so will not break non-ANSI
|
|
systems. Note that I don't have such a system any more so I may be wrong.
|
|
|
|
16. Removed all remaining references to "short" or "long" that did not
|
|
depend on the vague semantics of those types. Most uses were actually
|
|
depending on a size of 16 bits for short and 32 bits for long, and there
|
|
are processors/compilers where each of these types is different. This
|
|
work was begun in 4.9 and is now complete. Note that some structs that
|
|
are used in large data structures use "char" for 8-bit integers. It helps.
|
|
|
|
05Jul93 - ALPHA Released
|
|
|
|
This is the cleanup release after 4.9. I'm going to try the TCSH style of
|
|
logging the changes; let me know if you think it's a bad way of doing it.
|
|
|
|
15. the resolver now includes an implementation of RFC 1101, which allows
|
|
network names to be encoded in the DNS tree rather than in /etc/networks.
|
|
this implementation is by rps@matuc2.mat.uc.pt (Rui Pedro Mendes Salgueiro)
|
|
i put the test program and original documentation in contrib/rfc1101/. i
|
|
would like to see their main.c ("nettest") turned into a tools/nettest,
|
|
but i'm not willing to do the work myself. it needs a man page, etc.
|
|
|
|
14. as expected the initial HS zone transfer stuff didn't work that well.
|
|
thanks to <per@ericsson.se>, retries after failed SOA queries will use
|
|
C_IN rather than falling through to C_HS inappropriately.
|
|
|
|
13. ns_init.c was fcntl(SETFL)'ing in a destructive way. it now does a
|
|
fcntl(GETFL) to get the old option mask and then |'s in the new flag.
|
|
this patch came from Eduard Vopicka <Eduard.Vopicka@vse.cz>.
|
|
|
|
12. there are two new conf/Info.* files; check 'em out.
|
|
|
|
11. ultrix (some versions, especially the vax ones) libc.a had some bad
|
|
naming conventions for some resolver routines. getshort/putshort just
|
|
have to be real functions, not just macros, or you can't link anything
|
|
with this resolver. patch was sent by <aas@brain.physics.swin.oz.au>.
|
|
|
|
10. sethostent(x) for host files was sticky for nonzero 'x' (avalon@anu.edu.au)
|
|
|
|
9. hp9000s700 is now supported in include/arpa/nameser.h (avalon@anu.edu.au)
|
|
|
|
8. statistics dumps now print the time in decimal-seconds-since-1970 in
|
|
addition to the old "ctime" format, for ease of debugging. (Peter Koch).
|
|
|
|
7. systems with 14-character filename limitations have apparently been
|
|
having trouble in named-xfer since its temporary file names are bigger
|
|
than they can handle. ash@hp sent in some patches a while ago, enabled
|
|
with SHORT_FNAMES in conf/options.h, to deal with this appropriately.
|
|
We should probably just generate short names always.
|
|
|
|
6. Some security stuff from ISI. According to Anant Kumar <anant@isi.edu>:
|
|
|
|
The validation procedure is the major change here. Currently, we
|
|
accept anything from a server, as long as we had asked it a question.
|
|
This implies that a malicious server can really send us any data and
|
|
we not only pass it on, we also cache it for as long as the TTL
|
|
holds. This can be really bad for our health and for that of those
|
|
who use the DNS.
|
|
|
|
We add this procedure to verify for each RR returned by a server
|
|
that it is indeed authoritative for either that zone, or for a
|
|
parent zone. We end up trusting the root servers for everything!
|
|
Also, the more rich our cache is the more choosy we become about the
|
|
data we add on to it. This stuff is all ifdef'd with "#ifdef VALIDATE"
|
|
|
|
The negative caching stuff adds on a d_rcode field to the databufs.
|
|
Any positive entry now shows a NOERROR there while negative entries
|
|
have either a NXDOMAIN or NOERROR_NODATA. NOERROR_NODATA rcode is
|
|
never returned. It is used only to differentiate, within the
|
|
internal database, between negative and positive entries. We use the
|
|
regular hash table (hashtab) to store negative entries, too. Only
|
|
authoritative answers are negative cached, for NTTL (parameterized,
|
|
currently 10 minutes) seconds. Non-authoritative NXDOMAINs or
|
|
NOERROR with zero RR count, now generated, are now accepted but
|
|
never cached. This is ifdef'd with "#ifdef NCACHE".
|
|
|
|
5. "make install" now has a prayer of working for the man pages. an observation
|
|
was made that net2++ systems _require_ formatted "cat" pages and that older
|
|
systems are _able_ to use them, so that's all we install.
|
|
|
|
4. i wrote man pages for named.reload, named.restart, and named-xfer. these
|
|
were actually in 4.9.1 for 4.4BSD.
|
|
|
|
3. unneeded functions in compat/lib will now generate placeholder symbols, to
|
|
make sure that the linker doesn't generate ugly-but-harmless warnings.
|
|
|
|
2. my ignorance of the true meaning of _POSIX_SOURCE has been corrected,
|
|
along with the ugly-but-working code in conf/portability.h and elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
1. non-resolver routines moved from res/ to compat/lib/. this will shorten
|
|
libresolv.a and make it easier to integrate new BIND releases into Net-2
|
|
descendents such as 4.4BSD and BSD/386.
|
|
|
|
4.9.1 ------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the integration of the changes that were made for 4.4BSD. This
|
|
release will not be published. Changes include:
|
|
|
|
doc/BOG/*: many changes to improve appearance of the output, including
|
|
orphan-avoidance and better tab stops. Sent to me by someone on
|
|
the net who deserves thanks but I've lost the original mail. Oops.
|
|
|
|
include/*: the CSRG people weren't entirely pleased with the interface
|
|
changes i made to the res_*() and inet_*() functions. in particular,
|
|
the changes from "long" to "u_int32_t" were too sweeping in their
|
|
opinion since Posix is already working on standardizing them and
|
|
might look unkindly on an apparently-still-evolving interface. also,
|
|
the possibility that all the vendors will change their implementations
|
|
to match the new interface is apparently rather dim. therefore most
|
|
externally-visible occurances of the int32_t type have been changed
|
|
back to "long" in the resolver interface. we believe that this should
|
|
still be portable to Cray and AXP machines, but i'll wait to hear from
|
|
someone who can actually try it out and let me know.
|
|
|
|
tools/*: the "net2" version of "lex" requires some additional flags and libs,
|
|
and this had implications for the Makefiles and the dig.c source file.
|
|
nslookup's man page is now in man/ rather than tools/nslookup, for
|
|
consistency.
|
|
|
|
named/*: last-minute 4.9-FINAL changes to named-xfer.c and db_load.c resulted
|
|
in corruption of TXT records on zone transfers, and a high number of
|
|
useless syslog(SYS_ERR) messages about zones already being up to date.
|
|
these last-minute changes have been massaged into better shape and are
|
|
now a lot readier for prime time than they were. a lesson was learned.
|
|
|
|
the inet_aton() function is now used where appropriate, rather than the
|
|
old inet_addr(). this is just an evolutionary move that should have no
|
|
practical implications. bad addresses in the "tcplist", "bogusns", and
|
|
"sortlist" directives (from named.boot) are now syslogged.
|
|
|
|
some open files are still inherited by named-xfer from named, but they
|
|
are properly closed now.
|
|
|
|
the SIGXFSZ signal is now accepted as an alias for SIGHUP, in support
|
|
of the wierd DEC Hesiod implementation. no practical significance.
|
|
|
|
res/*: one important bug fix in the gethostent() stuff, and a whole bunch of
|
|
evolutionary include file changes.
|
|
|
|
include/*: include/sys was moved to compat/include/sys, since systems that
|
|
do not need it really really really need to get their own instead.
|
|
at some point i'm going to move the res/*.c files that are needed for
|
|
compatibility but not really part of the resolver, into compat/lib.
|
|
|
|
general: there are more settable parameters in the top-level Makefile, and
|
|
they are propagated downward into the subdirectories' Makefiles. you
|
|
should not have to edit any Makefile except the top-level one. Note
|
|
that "make links" still creates local Makefiles in the build directory
|
|
because "mkdep" still edits the Makefiles on most systems.
|
|
|
|
4.9-FINAL -------------------
|
|
|
|
Kevin Dunlap sent in some changes for the BOG. So did a lot of other folks.
|
|
|
|
Someone asked about AXP-OSF, so I did a trivial 64-bit port. Porting to
|
|
other 64-bit systems should be simple now. Someone also sent in some MIPS
|
|
RISCOS portability changes, which were simple and therefore were put in.
|
|
Note that some type names have been added to BSD 4.4 as a result of this
|
|
work; they are going to be in <sys/types.h> in BSD 4.4 but they are in a
|
|
local include file called <sys/bitypes.h> in this distribution, with
|
|
appropriate #ifdef's in the include files that depend on them. Those of you
|
|
who are porting to 64-bit platforms where "long" isn't 32 bits should be
|
|
using these new names for your types; there was no standard before this,
|
|
but the names we've added for BIND 4.9 and BSD 4.4 are going to be proposed
|
|
to Posix at some point. Sometimes it's just not OK for "int" to be the
|
|
"natural integer size of the machine" and you just _have_ to tell the compiler
|
|
how many bits you want.
|
|
|
|
The NIC added a new root server, thus pushing the size of a nonauthoritative
|
|
root server response (which includes the root server list in the answer as
|
|
well as the authority sections) over the 512-byte limit. This showed up a
|
|
long-term BIND bug wherein it failed to set the TC ("truncation occurred")
|
|
bit if truncation occurred anywhere but the answer section. Since truncation
|
|
was occuring at the end of the packet, in the additional data section, this
|
|
meant that BIND was generating truncated responses without setting TC in the
|
|
response header. Upon further investigation, I found that BIND ignored TC
|
|
on responses it received from other name servers. RFC 1035 states that RR's
|
|
from truncated responses should not be cached; with creative interpretation
|
|
of the exact 1035 wording, I found a way to reach this goal while still
|
|
caching the answer section (as long as the truncation occurred in some other
|
|
section, which 1035 gives no definitive way to determine but I'm happy with
|
|
my guess).
|
|
|
|
While researching the above, I finally broke down and added credibility
|
|
output to the zone dump files. They are in the comments so should cause
|
|
no trouble. There's more work to be done on the dump output; in particular,
|
|
Phil Almquist proposed and even prototyped a "tagging" of all RR's with the
|
|
A RR of the nameserver that sent them to us; this feature should be added
|
|
and the dump output should include it. This would add a lot to our ability
|
|
to track down corrupt data.
|
|
|
|
Don Lewis and I had more discussions about TC and ended up agreeing that the
|
|
right thing to do is to set TC on responses that overflow in the answer or
|
|
authority section, truncating at an RR boundary, but do not set TC on responses
|
|
that overflow in the additional-data section (truncating at a {name,type}
|
|
boundary). This actually solves the root server problem pretty well, since
|
|
BIND 4.9 will, when it tries to use an NS whose A isn't in the cache, generate
|
|
a sysquery() for the missing A. (Heck, additional data TTL's are depreciated
|
|
at the rate of 5% per use, so this would end up happening pretty quickly even
|
|
if we did cache a partial {name,type} -- but now we won't have to.)
|
|
|
|
While trying to fix all of this stuff I ended up moving some functions around
|
|
to avoid duplicating them in different source files, and I reformatted some
|
|
source lines that went over 80 characters. I also made a few things "static"
|
|
that used to be unneccessarily global. More of that will happen in 4.9.1.
|
|
|
|
DEC's product version of MIT Hesiod uses SIGXFSZ for what we do with SIGHUP;
|
|
since the default for SIGXFSZ is to exit, it seemed prudent to wire it up to
|
|
do what SIGHUP does instead, so that this BIND can run on DEC Hesiod servers.
|
|
|
|
At the request of several people, I integrated the USC "dig" and Rutgers
|
|
"host" tools into the distribution. This required some changes to the
|
|
resolver library's debugging output formats, which will be visible in
|
|
nslookup, nsquery, and any other tool that sets the RES_DEBUG option.
|
|
Note that there is no support for "DEFNAMES" in this version of dig, due
|
|
to design changes between 4.8 (from which "dig" is derived) and 4.9. there
|
|
is no reason in principle why it can't be made to work, but it doesn't work
|
|
now. therefore only fully-qualified names can be looked up with this "dig".
|
|
|
|
I had to change the name of the resolver "state" structure to be "__res_state"
|
|
for standards conformance (really, it is not reasonable to expect that because
|
|
a program includes <resolv.h> it will never define its own structure called
|
|
"state". This change highlights the imperative that any application which is
|
|
relinked against this resolver must first be recompiled against these include
|
|
files (notably <resolv.h>). This is true for almost all versions of libresolv.
|
|
|
|
I asked for items for the "TODO" list and got quite a few. Check them out
|
|
before you hack; someone else may already have started doing what you want to
|
|
do. I also asked for tools for the "contrib" subdirectory and got 650KB worth.
|
|
They make the BIND 4.9 distribution a lot larger than 4.8.3 was, but the extra
|
|
bytes are well worth their weight.
|
|
|
|
Kenneth Almquist (no relation to Phil, as far as I know) posted a patch for
|
|
res_send() that lets it keep track of servers that are responding "SERVFAIL"
|
|
or some other fatal condition; these servers are NOT used for retries of the
|
|
current query. This information is not persistent between calls to res_send()
|
|
since future calls will probably be for different {name,type} queries, which
|
|
will not neccessarily fail in the same way. This change is trivial and makes
|
|
a measurable difference in the amount of DNS traffic on my local net.
|

|
4.9-BETA ------------------- April 17, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
"Peter Koch" <pk@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>'s previous patch caused core
|
|
dumps on some systems. I fixed part of it and Peter sent me a fix for
|
|
the rest of it. All is now well.
|
|
|
|
The Bind Operations Guide in doc/BOG has been updated to 4.9. Also, the
|
|
man page in man/named.8 has had some patches applied. The copyrights are
|
|
all fixed now. Let's get this thing OUT of here!
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ------------------- March 15, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
There was a really bad bug affecting wildcards. I received a patch
|
|
from "Peter Koch" <pk@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> which fixes some of
|
|
it, but I can't quite motivate myself to fix the rest of it since I
|
|
know that what's _really_ wrong is going to require chainsaws and
|
|
dynamite to fix and that'll add another year to the release. I think
|
|
that this patch will hold us for a while.
|
|
|
|
There are a LOT of portability changes that I'm holding onto, especially
|
|
including 64-bit fixes. Do not submit any more portability changes
|
|
until 4.9.1 opens. Go ahead and make them, but be prepared to remake
|
|
them later. Let me know what you are doing but don't send me any diffs
|
|
for portability until I ask for them. 4.9 has been stuck in the barrel
|
|
for way too long already -- patches that don't fix RFC-noncompliance or
|
|
core dumps will just go into my "todo" folder (which is presently a
|
|
black hole of great mass).
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ---------------- Febrtuary 2, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
Mostly portability fixes. The nslookup "lex" problem is BSDI-specific
|
|
and I'm not going to hold up release because of it. This will be the
|
|
last alpha release before the public beta. It is, as usual, running
|
|
the DEC.COM primary name service and has done so for more than a week
|
|
without any problems.
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ---------------- January 10, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
Once I get the known bug in nslookup (see below) fixed, this version is going
|
|
to go into public beta. I would appreciate it if everyone would try it out.
|
|
|
|
KNOWN BUG IN THIS RELEASE: something wild is going on inside of the yylex()
|
|
routing on BSD/386 systems. It only affects nslookup. I'm still trying to
|
|
figure out how I'm going to debug this; lex experts, please see what's going
|
|
on. None of the changes since the 930105 release should have been capable
|
|
of producing this change, but something is sure doing it.
|
|
|
|
I finally fixed the {GET,PUT}{SHORT,LONG} macros to stop issuing warnings
|
|
on HP-UX systems. They are also warning-free on Ultrix(SPIM,VAX), BSDI(386),
|
|
and SunOS(SPARC) systems. I took the plunge and changed the internal functions
|
|
in res/res_comp.c to depend on these macros instead of duplicating the code,
|
|
and everything still works.
|
|
|
|
Tom Limoncelli found three ancient memory leaks. I fixed two of them
|
|
but the last one looks too much like a "cannot happen" for me to be
|
|
willing to experiment with it. Besides which, it's "very" minor.
|
|
|
|
Uses setsid() on POSIX systems. PID file is now optional. (arc@sgi)
|
|
|
|
Comments (";" or "#") are now allowed in resolv.conf (arc@sgi).
|
|
|
|
Documentation and copyright changes in README.
|
|
|
|
Known to compile on NeXT machines.
|
|
|
|
Some portability changes for AIX, whose CC is very picky.
|
|
|
|
I forgot to mention in the 921227 release that T_RP is supported (arc@sgi).
|
|
|
|
I included a number of changes that Alan Barrett has been trying to get
|
|
in since the 921221 version. Most are portability-related, and the few
|
|
things that are functional are changes to my own previous additions :-),
|
|
so I'm fairly sure that they are doing the right thing. Alan's changes
|
|
include:
|
|
|
|
include/arpa/nameser.h
|
|
improved error diagnosis in the BYTE_ORDER configuration.
|
|
|
|
changed hp9000 test to hp9000s300. As far as I know, there is
|
|
no hp9000 preprocessor symbol. Should probably add other
|
|
hp9000s<whatever> tests, but have not done so.
|
|
|
|
named/ns.h
|
|
Moved the XFER-related stuff from the end of the file to near
|
|
the top, where it is grouped with similar stuff.
|
|
|
|
Makefiles:
|
|
Add SYSLIBS variable, so folk can compile with -lBSD easily.
|
|
|
|
Changed install targets to make them easier to customise.
|
|
|
|
make links wasn't handling named.{reload,restart}*
|
|
|
|
Add ${CDEBUG} flag to link step. Some debuggers don't work
|
|
right if the program isn't linked with the -g flag.
|
|
|
|
struct timeval members are declared as unsigned long on some systems.
|
|
Add casts to (long) in several if statements that appear to assume
|
|
that tv_sec is signed.
|
|
|
|
PID_FIX in ns_main.c controlled more than just whether or not the
|
|
pid file gets fixed.
|
|
Changed it to control only that one feature.
|
|
|
|
For debugging, it is useful for a nameserver to listen to non-standard
|
|
port, but to forward requests to a standard port.
|
|
Add "-p remote/local" option to named/ns_main.c.
|
|
Also needed some other changes elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
Don't forward back to the host that asked us a question, unless they
|
|
asked from some port other than their nameserver port. This allows a
|
|
dig or nslookup user on a host to ask us questions with
|
|
recursion-desired, where we are willing to recursively ask the
|
|
nameserver on their host. However, if a nameserver asks us something
|
|
we will not recurse back to them.
|
|
nslookup() in named/ns_forw.c checks for this and returns -1.
|
|
ns_forw() and sysquery() notice this and return SERVFAIL.
|
|
|
|
Moved the nsContainsUs functionality from a separate routine
|
|
into nslookup(). No need to do the same tree walk several times.
|
|
|
|
While trying to track down various problems, added detection
|
|
and logging of errors in several syscalls in ns_main.c.
|
|
|
|
Avoid integer overflow in roundtrip time calc in ns_resp.
|
|
This needs a definition for INT_MAX.
|
|
|
|
Fixed root zone transfer bug. Also corrected some slightly misleading
|
|
comments in the doaxfr() code, and added some more comments.
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ---------------- January 5, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
This one was built and tested on Ultrix 4.2 (SPIM, MIPS CC and GCC),
|
|
BSD/386 (Gamma.4), Sun SPARC (4.0.3, sorry, that's the latest I have),
|
|
4.3BSD Reno (VAX, PCC), and Ultrix 3.0 (VAX PCC).
|
|
|
|
Moved res/defs.h to conf/portability.h; named/options.h to conf/options.h.
|
|
|
|
Portability changes for O_NDELAY. SUNOS is really strange about this.
|
|
|
|
Removed some unneccessary goto's added to ns_main.c on 1jan. Oops.
|
|
|
|
Art Harkin of HP sent in a number of small (read: obviously correct)
|
|
improvements, some related to portability, some to functionality.
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ---------------- January 1, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
Changed all O_NONBLOCK to O_NDELAY. Changed all {r}index to str{r}chr.
|
|
|
|
Added some SysV support in the form of bcopy->memcpy, bzero->memset.
|
|
|
|
Added C_HS support to named-xfer (greg@duke.cs.unlv.edu).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a line-number problem in asp's "include" logic (asp@uunet.uu.net).
|
|
|
|
streamq's were being used after free(). bug report from fuat@ans.net
|
|
and jpe@ee.egr.duke.edu. bug fix by vixie.
|
|
|
|
In the resolver, we now default to address 127.0.0.1 rather than 0.0.0.0.
|
|
There's a comment in the code that explains why.
|
|
|
|
In the resolver, arc@xingping.esg.sgi.com changed it to use inet_aton()
|
|
and included that function for those not running 4.4bsd.
|
|
|
|
arc@xingping.esg.sgi.com also provided lots of portability fixes and
|
|
general cleanups, in particular to nslookup which he maintains for CSRG.
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ---------------- December 27, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
Added strtoul() to libresolv.a since it's yet another neccessary function
|
|
that older systems don't have. If we can stomach strcasecmp() we can sure
|
|
handle this.
|
|
|
|
Moved res/named/gethostnamadr.c to res/gethnamaddr.c (note basename change)
|
|
and res/named/sethostent.c to res/sethostent.c. Since the host table stuff
|
|
isn't in separate files any more I saw no reason to retain the subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
Updated all the copyrights and applied the small lint changes that bring
|
|
the baseline of this version from "4.8.3 as seen on ucbarpa" up to "4.8.3
|
|
as released with net-2". Thanks to the alpha testers for pointing this out
|
|
to me and for sending in the diffs.
|
|
|
|
With much howling and screaming, I ported this to UMIPS (MIPS System V).
|
|
There are a lot of really bad things going on in their libc.a, and now
|
|
they're going on in BIND as well.
|
|
|
|
I added a "res/defs.h" file and then proceeded to include it from all kinds
|
|
of files that aren't in res/. I'm thinking of moving it but I'm also trying
|
|
to figure out where -- include/ is the wrong place. res/defs.h has in it all
|
|
the ugly ifdef's needed to figure out whether this is a late-model BSD system,
|
|
a POSIX system, or just old.
|
|
|
|
All the "#endif" and "#else" cpp directives now have comments around their
|
|
annotations. It turns out that System V CPP complains about "#endif DEBUG"
|
|
but has no problem with "#endif /*DEBUG*/". In many cases where the #ifdef
|
|
was obviously visible and unambiguous, I simply removed the annotation.
|
|
|
|
The "l" is now a ";". Thanks to all who replied :-).
|
|
|
|
There was a very bad bug in the named-xfer interface. 'nuff said.
|
|
|
|
AIX needs a 32-bit field for PID's. I can't imagine. But it's fixed.
|
|
|
|
The "domain" directive in named.boot is now an option, defaulting to off.
|
|
|
|
There was a benign bug in sqrm().
|
|
|
|
doaxfr() is now shorter and clearer.
|
|
|
|
There is an "include" directive in the named.boot file now. Its syntax is
|
|
simple: "include somefile". No quotes, no "#", no <brackets>. This feature
|
|
was in 4.9-ALPHA as well, courtesy of Andrew Partan. I forgot to document it.
|
|
|
|
4.9-ALPHA ---------------- December 21, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
This release incorporates fixes from a lot of people, including many from
|
|
DECWRL. Some fixes are just lint; some are to avoid dumping core on non-VAX
|
|
computers; many are to fix promiscuity, corruption, and rudeness.
|
|
|
|
Various internal DEC programmers have ported the old 4.8.3 code to various
|
|
not-entirely-BSD-like platforms and turned up some interesting lint. All
|
|
of this has been fixed. Also, we fixed a bad bug in the handling of timeouts
|
|
and SERVFAIL's when forwarders and slave are both used.
|
|
|
|
I have made major changes to the code inside the ALLOW_UPDATES ifdef's, but
|
|
I don't use it and have never compiled with that option turned on so I don't
|
|
know if it still works. Given that SNMP has come and there is an IETF WG for
|
|
SNMP management of the DNS, I am thinking very seriously of purging all of the
|
|
ALLOW_UPDATES code in 4.9.1. I suspect that Mike Schwartz will let me know if
|
|
this is ok..
|
|
|
|
(interrim "KJB" notes) ------------------- March, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
|
|
|
|
If we are about to forward a query for some zone for which we are one of the
|
|
servers, we send back a SERVFAIL instead. If we don't have it, chances are
|
|
good that the other name servers won't have it either. This is the major
|
|
cause of "network meltdown" when the root servers declare you as a name server
|
|
for some zone you don't know about and havn't configured yourself for.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a memory leak such that if db_update() fails to update the database
|
|
from a response packet, a databuf will no longer be orphaned. Also fixed
|
|
what looks like a similar leak in the ALLOW_UPDATES code but I don't use it
|
|
that hasn't been tested.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a memory sponge such that if we forward a query to someone who is not
|
|
ever going to answer it, we will eventually expire it from our query queue.
|
|
Previously it would expire after N retries to N' different servers, which
|
|
could be a very long time. Particularly in the case of lame delegations and
|
|
other forwarding loops, we feel that 90 seconds (two max-retry intervals) is
|
|
enough time for a query to be answered. While we were into this code we made
|
|
several fields in the query structure into "short"'s since they were only
|
|
being used to store smallish integers. The query list gets Very Long during
|
|
a forwarding loop -- even 90 seconds worth of queries is a lot of queries.
|
|
|
|
This version includes my hacks that assign a "credibility index" to each
|
|
<name,type> such that when more credible data arrives for a given
|
|
<name,type>, all old data is purged. When equally-credible data arrives it
|
|
is aggregated in the way we all know and love; when less credible data
|
|
arrives it is completely ignored. Credibility, from best to worst, is:
|
|
1. zone files (primary or secondary)
|
|
2. authoritative answers
|
|
3. non-authoritative answers and authority records
|
|
4. additional data
|
|
5. zone files ("cache" or "bootstrap" information)
|
|
You need this version of bind if you still show any A RR's in network
|
|
32.0.0.0 when you look up uucp-gw-1.pa.dec.com's A or adobe.com's NS.
|
|
|
|
I have also added some extra code to prevent pollution of the internal
|
|
"hint cache." In all versions of BIND that I was able to test, any IN_A
|
|
response to any sysquery() would cause the IN_A RR to be added to the
|
|
fcachetab ("hint cache"). This resulted in lots of extra cruft in the hint
|
|
cache, that wasn't timed out properly, which in turn resulted in lots of
|
|
strange answers ('nuff said, take my word for it.)
|
|
|
|
Though changes have been made to make the Ultrix and GNU (2.1) C compilers
|
|
stop complaining about the source, it should still compile and run just
|
|
about anywhere. In fact, after I cleaned up lots of old lint, this version
|
|
of BIND is known to compile and run on:
|
|
|
|
Ultrix 4.2 (MIPS or VAX)
|
|
SunOS 4.0.3
|
|
BSD/386 (BSDi beta)
|
|
|
|
This was being released as King James Bind because, like KJ Sendmail, it is
|
|
a merge of every major variant of Bind that we know about. It was
|
|
assembled and tested by Paul Vixie of DEC NSL/WRL, with generous donations
|
|
of code and advice from Win Treese of DEC CRL. Changes from Don Lewis of
|
|
Harris, Andrew Partan of UUNET, and Piet Beertema of EUNet are also included.
|
|
See the OPTIONS file for a description of the changes you can control with
|
|
#ifdef's.
|
|
|
|
This server has been run on UUCP-GW-{1,2}.PA.DEC.COM, which are in the UUCP
|
|
Zone. Our named.boot file has ~1900 lines in it. Before we instituted the
|
|
changes in this release, our name server usually ran at about 16MB virtual,
|
|
15MB physical, growing slowly but constantly until we restarted it.
|
|
Whenever a new zone was added to the NIC's root zone listing us as a name
|
|
server, our servers would kill themselves and eachother (and NS.UU.NET, one
|
|
of the other UUCP Zone name servers) with forwarding loops. After these
|
|
changes, we run at a fairly constant 8MB virtual and physical size, and our
|
|
apparent CPU utilization is always 0.0% since we never finish a quantum and
|
|
the scheduler always sees us as waiting for I-O. In other words, life is good.
|
|
|
|
Notes from UCB version 4.8.3 follow:
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This is version 4.8.3 of bind. It is a test release that updates
|
|
versions 4.8 and 4.8.1 with fixes, and is essentially the same as
|
|
the version of named on the 4.3BSD Reno release. Although it is
|
|
currently described as a test release, it is believed to be reasonably
|
|
stable and more usable than the previously-released versions.
|
|
Here are some of the more important changes:
|
|
|
|
o A list of domains may be specified for searching in resolv.conf instead
|
|
of just the local domain name.
|
|
|
|
o gethostbyname() will accept a dotted quad.
|
|
|
|
o Support has been added for the the T_TXT data type and for the class
|
|
C_HS. These are both used by Hesiod from Project Athena at MIT.
|
|
|
|
o All of the pathnames have been put into one header file. This
|
|
makes it easier to change the location based upon your local
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
o Responses are only accepted from an address to which we might of sent
|
|
the request. This might cause problems if some server is multihomed
|
|
and is still running BIND 4.3, but it prevents attacks induced by
|
|
sending responses from another address.
|
|
|
|
o Numerous bugs have been fixed: Adding a new authoritative zone now
|
|
works when the server has a cached SOA record. Comparisons in the
|
|
db now look at type and class as well instead of dropping records
|
|
with identical data. Scheduling of maintenance interrupts has been
|
|
moved to one routine avoid spurious ones. Named goes into the background
|
|
after more of the initialization is done. Stream connection queue
|
|
handling was cleaned up including a bug that caused data corruption
|
|
and core dumps. Sys5 no longer can have multiple transfers of the
|
|
same zone occuring at the same time. Handle CNAME -> CNAME loops
|
|
more gracefully. Avoid making one server never get queried. Border
|
|
conditions in resolver are checked more accurately.
|
|
|
|
o Nslookup has been updated.
|
|
|
|
There are several bug reports that have yet to be integrated into this
|
|
version. Hopefully they will be dealt with in the next release. Please
|
|
send feedback on this release.
|
|
|
|
Notes from versions 4.8.1 and 4.8 follow:
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
This is version 4.8.1 of bind. It is a test release that includes
|
|
version 4.8 with fixes, asynchronous zone transfer and better reload
|
|
capabilities. Although it is currently described as a test release,
|
|
it is believed to be reasonably stable and more usable than the currently-
|
|
released version, 4.8. The changes of note are:
|
|
|
|
o The asynchronous zone transfer code previously posted to the bind
|
|
mailing list has been integrated, completed and tested. There are
|
|
a number of changes from the version posted, including fixes to
|
|
allow top-level domains to work and a simplification of the timer
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
o The code for reloading the server has been changed so that only
|
|
primary zones master files that have changed are reloaded. The
|
|
cache and secondary zones are not flushed, and the sortlist, domain,
|
|
etc. are reset to correspond to the boot file contents.
|
|
|
|
o Several bugs have been fixed: the name "*" is not interpreted as
|
|
a wildcard in cached zones, only in primary zones. Secondary servers
|
|
no longer decrement the time-to-live of records by the time since
|
|
they verified the zone with the master; as a result, they never
|
|
hand out nameserver referrals with too short a TTL to be usable.
|
|
A bug was fixed that caused secondary servers with out-of-date
|
|
zones to return empty answers between the actual expiration time
|
|
and the next timeout.
|
|
|
|
There are several other bugs that have been reported but have not yet
|
|
been fixed. In addition, the next regular release of named will
|
|
support negative caching, but this has not been integrated.
|
|
|
|
I would appreciate receiving feedback on this release; in particular,
|
|
problems (or lack of problems) when installing on various systems.
|
|
I attempted to update the SysV code when integrating the zone-transfer,
|
|
but haven't tested it.
|
|
|
|
The notes from version 4.8 follow.
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
Welcome to version 4.8 of bind.
|
|
|
|
There have been several changes to the named boot file (/etc/named.boot)
|
|
of which you should be aware. The "domain" line for each zone is no longer
|
|
needed, but one such line may still be used to specify a default domain
|
|
to be used for queries containing names with only a single component.
|
|
The term "suffixes", which was added in version 4.7alpha, has been removed.
|
|
|
|
The manual page on named (named.8) has been updated to reflect all
|
|
these changes. Please read this and look at the example files
|
|
before installation. You should also note the changes in the
|
|
resolver code to support non-fully-qualified addresses and per-user
|
|
host aliases. See hostname(7) for an overview. Two new routines
|
|
have been added to the resolver library since the last test release:
|
|
res_query formulates a query, sends it, waits for a response and does
|
|
preliminary error checking; res_search implements the search rules
|
|
of gethostbyname using res_query.
|
|
|
|
The MX lookup routine in sendmail has been modified to use res_search.
|
|
Also, dn_skip takes an additional parameter and has been renamed
|
|
to dn_skipname. While old sendmail binaries will work with the new
|
|
version of bind, because of these changes, it is desirable to install
|
|
new sendmail sources and recompile sendmail. Do not rebuild sendmail
|
|
from old sources. The new sendmail is on ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU for
|
|
anonymous FTP from pub/4.3/sendmail.MX.tar and pub/4.3/sendmail.MX.tar.Z.
|
|
|
|
There have been numerous changes to named, fixing most of the known
|
|
bugs that can be fixed without major structural changes in the server.
|
|
Several server configurations that failed before should now work.
|
|
Certain robustness problems have been fixed, in particular bounds-
|
|
checking when processing incoming packets. Two changes have been made
|
|
in preparation for negative caching: SOA records are sent in the authority
|
|
section in negative responses with NXDOMAIN set, and a bug was fixed that
|
|
caused confusion and repeated requests if a response had no error, no answer
|
|
and an SOA in the authority section. As such responses are already sent
|
|
by other servers, and will be sent by the next release of BIND, it is
|
|
important that all sites upgrade to this version as quickly as possible.
|
|
|
|
The root "hint" cache and cache file remain the largest problem area,
|
|
along with named's naivete in accepting bogus server's data.
|
|
These will be addressed in the next release, along with asynchronous
|
|
zone transfers, intelligent reloading of zone files, faster startup,
|
|
and caching of negative responses.
|
|
|
|
This version (4.8) will replace the last officially released version (4.5).
|
|
Version 4.5 has a serious bug that causes the generation of a continuous
|
|
stream of bogons to the root domain servers (bogus queries with the query
|
|
response bit set and possibly garbage for nsid and rcode). It is imperative
|
|
that these versions of named be replaced as fast as possible. We urge you to
|
|
field 4.8 quickly, for the sake of the root domain servers.
