replacing named 8 with 9

[Sunil Sunder Raj]

Hi,

1) Install Bind 9

2) Make secret keys using rndcontrol
	a) grep -i irq /var/run/dmesg.boot
	choose IRQ's that have a lot of interrupts.
	b) Run # rndcontrol -s <IRQ> for each choosen interrupt.
	c) add it to rc.conf to enable after reboot
		rand_irqs="3 7 11".
3) Generate the keys
	a) # rndc-confgen -a -c /usr/local/etc/rndc.key
	    # chmod 600 /usr/local/etc/rndc.key
	    # chown bind:bind /usr/local/etc/rndc.key
	    # vi /usr/local/etc/rndc.key
	b) Copy the key statement
		key "rndc-key" {
		algorithm hmac-md5;
		secret "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
		};
	c) # cp /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf
	     # chmod 600 /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf
             # chown bind:bind /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf
             # vi /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf
	d) Paste the copied key statement here.

4) In rc.conf
	named_enable="YES"
	named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
	named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind"

5) In /etc/named.conf
	At the top of the file
	// Use the key
	include "/usr/local/etc/rndc.key";

	// Control statement
	controls {
	inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
	};

6) Check the config
	# named-checkconf /etc/namedb/named.conf

7) Start named
		# /usr/local/sbin/named -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind
