-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-8496 2013-05-17 22:03:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : dnsmasq Product : Fedora 19 Version : 2.66 Release : 6.fc19 URL : http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/ Summary : A lightweight DHCP/caching DNS server Description : Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of diskless machines.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Include several fixies from upstream repo: - Tighten hostname checks in legal hostname() function - Replace inet_addr() with inet_pton() in src/option.c - Use dnsmasq as default DNS server for RA only if it's doing DNS - Handle IPv4 interface address labels (aliases) in Linux (#962246) - Fix failure to start with ENOTSOCK (#962874) - Send TCP DNS messages in one packet - Fix crash on SERVFAIL when using --conntrack option - Fix regression in dhcp_lease_time utility - Man page typos fixes - Note that dhcp_lease_time and dhcp_release work only for IPv4 - Fix for --dhcp-match option to work also with BOOTP protocol
Dnsmasq unit file cleanup: - drop forking Type and PIDfile and rather start dnsmasq with "-k" option - drop After syslog.target as this is by default -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
