tinydns funk kloxo-MR 7

[notbob]

I've been able to issue dig requests to get data out of tinydns if I manually add records to the data file under /home/djbdns/tinydns/root and then run make.

I can't seem to find any sequence of commands or steps which will put new records into the data.cdb file

I've run sh /script/fixdns, sh /script/restart-dns, I have reinstallled djbdns, and

I've added a domain to admin, added a client and then a domain under that client

I've switched back and forth between bind and tinydns

This is on Kloxo-MR 7.0.0.b-2016052103 on x86_64 CentOS release 6.7

Any other thoughts?

Why not use NSD or PowerDNS?.

DJBDNS is too old and not updated. Many issues is not fixed. Kloxo-MR include DJBDNS because it's from Kloxo (beside Bind).

I'm used to tinydns, been using it for 15 years, no history of security exploits, has worked well for me with kloxo and kloxo-mr 6.5.

Nothing change for DJBDns in Kloxo-MR 7.0 compare to Kloxo-MR 6.5.

running find / -name djbdns -or -name tinydns would suggest some changes...

There is some bug that keeps creating the djbdns under djbdns under /opt/configs

but I was able to get tinydns going without finding/fixing that bug

I moved /opt/configs/djbdns/djbdns/tinydns to /opt/djbdns

and then added some lines to the Makefile to copy the data file to where the tinydns program is looking for them. 

Basically 7.x is creating a master file under /opt/configs/djbdns/tinydns/root but the running program expects a data.cdb file under /home/djbdns/tinydns/root, the modified Makefile does that.

the original Makefile only contains

data.cdb: data
        //bin/tinydns-data

where my new Make file under opt/configs/djbdns/tinydns/root now contains

data.cdb: data
        //bin/tinydns-data
data: master
        cp master data
        cp master /home/djbdns/tinydns/root/data
        cd /home/djbdns/tinydns/root;make
