Dynamic DNS and failed journal
by Brian Chadwick
Hi
On FC5 I have dhcpd running and attemtping to update the DNS server from
DHCP.
a log output from bind is as follows:
31-Jul-2006 17:27:55.658 general: notice: running
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.013 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826:
updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': adding an RR at 'box.bac.org.au' A
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.014 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826:
updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': adding an RR at 'box.bac.org.au' TXT
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.015 general: info: journal file
/var/named/bac.org.au.hosts.jnl does not exist, creating it
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.016 general: error:
/var/named/bac.org.au.hosts.jnl: create: permission denied
31-Jul-2006 17:28:08.016 update: info: client 192.168.10.254#32826:
updating zone 'bac.org.au/IN': error: journal open failed: unexpected error
I am sure my dhcpd and named config files are ok, as far as allowing
dynamic updates are concerned anyway ... but there seems to be a
permission problem in trying to create bind's zone journal.
I have fiddled with permissions, even going so far as to use 777 !! ...
but the error persists. The update apparantly fails because this journal
can not be created and/or written. This is a stock standard FC5
installation.
I suspect this is something to do with the chrooted environment in which
bind is running ....
Any ideas people?

Anti-Novell press briefing may not play well with Xensource

Xen not ready for prime-time, says Red Hat
By Renai LeMay, ZDNet Australia
31 July 2006 06:04 PM
A senior Red Hat executive today maintained the Xen open source
virtualisation environment was not yet ready for enterprise use, despite
"unbelievable" customer demand and the fact rival Novell has already
started shipping the software.
Xen, which is primarily being developed by US-based startup XenSource,
allows users to run multiple operating systems as guest virtual machines
on the same hardware, potentially allowing for greater utilisation of
resources.
But while rival Novell this month started shipping the software with
version 10 of its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server environment, Red Hat
continues to have a lack of confidence in the virtualisation newcomer.
"XenSource is not stable yet, it's not ready for the enterprise," Red
Hat's vice president of International Operations, Alex Pinchev, told
ZDNet Australia today via telephone.
"We don't feel that XenSource is stable enough to address banking,
telco, or any other enterprise customer, so until we are comfortable, we
will not release it."
Taking the customer viewpoint, he said: "If the National Australia Bank
wants to implement virtualisation and it's not stable, you can imagine
what they will tell us."
Instead of trying to play catch up with Novell and simply shipping Xen
as included software with Red Hat's operating system, Red Hat will
attempt to build a full virtualisation platform around the product in
the next version of its Red Hat Enterprise Linux server software, due to
be released in December.

evolution, kill me now
by Ric Moore
Here I sit, using firefox to access my gmail account directly because
evolution in the last couple of weeks has been misbehaving sending mail.
It's retrieving like a charm but will not send. I'd edited the darn send
part until I turn blue in the face. Is anyone else having this problem? Did
some yum update blow it up? Something is surely amiss as everything is
configured the way gmail sez set it and nothing has changed, that I am aware
of, for it to blow up. If anyone has a hint, I could sure use it. Ric

FC5 hangs for no detectable reason
by Thomas Fischer
All,
I recently upgraded my FC4 installation (last week to be precise) to
FC5. I have installed all the updates for FC5. It is installed on a DELL
Latitude c610.
My problem is that after a given period of time - which varies, it can
be 10 minutes or many hours. The system just hangs/freezes. I get no
keyboard/mouse or screen response and I can't go into the console to
check for a panic. No errors are shown in the logs.
Since it really is random, I am unable to reproduce it. Can anyone give
me some ideas on how I might capture an error condition to find out what
is doing this?
thanks

Re: Dynamic DNS and failed journal
by Brian Chadwick
Thanks for your comment Paul
The thing is, when bind chroots, it should have writeable access to its
own /var/named, which as far as the host is concerned, is actually
/var/named/chroot/var/named.
its needs to know where to load its zone information from, ie.
/var/named, then chroots.
I cant see how that should be a problem for bind to write to its own
/var/named directory. Anyway I tried it, and changed options directory
/var/named to /var/named/slaves .... naturally, bind couldnt find zone
information ...
I suspect there is something more intriguing afoot.
Thanks anyway :)

Hi I tried to upgrade the kernel for ntfs support but when I issued
the rpm command it showed some error message but instllation went to
