-$Id: CHANGES,v 8.56 1998/04/07 04:59:42 vixie Exp $
- --- 4.9.7-T1A released ---
+ --- 8.1.2-T3B released ---
-808. [security] A number of routines did insufficient bounds checking which
- could cause crashes by reading from an invalid memory
- location. (From BIND-8).
+ 366. [bug] Z_AUTH was set on the cache zone do_reload().
-807. [bug] The server sometimes leaked the flushset (ns_resp.c).
- (From BIND-8).
+ 365. [security] Missing bounds checking in inverse query handling
+ allowed an attacker to overwrite the server's stack.
-806. [bug] add_related_additional() leaked memory if the name
- was already in the related array. (From BIND-8).
+ 364. [port] Added support for HP MPE.
- --- 4.9.6 released ---
+ 363. [bug] named-xfer automatically restarts the transfer if the
+ SOA changes during the transfer. There was no limit
+ on the number of restarts, resulting in a lot of
+ wasted effort if the SOA was constantly changing.
+ The number of restarts is now limited.
-805. [security] The server now caches only those response records
- that are within the current query domain. (From BIND-8)
+ 362. [security] Requesting a zone transfer for a domain name which
+ had a resource record of a certain format would
+ cause the server to abort().
-804. [security] another buffer overrun plugged, this time in res_search().
+ 361. [bug] named-xfer tries to close files named might have
+ had open. On Solaris, sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) can
+ return RLIM_INFINITY, and if it did named-xfer
+ would try to close all those files. named-xfer
+ now applies an upper limit of FD_SETSIZE.
-803. [bug] core leak fixed in ns_resp.c (twice).
+ 360. [port] Solaris 2.5 systems needed <sys/resource.h> to
+ be included in port_after.h to get rlim_t.
-802. [proto] RTT sorting was defeating round robin for nameserver A RRs.
+ --- 8.1.2-T3A released ---
-801. [bug] res_send() now considers FD_SETSIZE usefully.
+ 359. [func] IRS group support is now controlled by the
+ WANT_IRS_GR define in port_before.h.
-800. [bug] formatting errors corrected in precsize_aton().
+ 358. [port] Updated IRIX port.
-799. [bug] now that inet_pton() is safe, we call it a little more often.
+ 357. [port] Added support for QNX.
-798. [bug] file descriptor leak plugged on systems without SO_LINGER.
+ 356. [func] Added -u (set user id), -g (set group id), and
+ -t (chroot) command line options to 'named'.
-797. [bug] named-xfer signal, exit, and stub bugs fixed.
+ 355. [func] If getnetconf() fails because it can't create the
+ socket used to get the interface list, the server
+ will log an error if it is doing a periodic interface
+ scan, and panic otherwise. Previous versions of the
+ server always panicked.
-798. [bug] tokens with merely _leading_ digits won't be taken as TTL's.
+ 354. [security] Bounds checking in named-xfer, dig, host, and nslookup
+ had problems similar to those in item 293. Added a
+ few more bounds checks to the server.
-797. [port] Motorola 88K port integrated.
+ 353. [port] Paths are no longer overridden in port_after.h, and
+ are now generated from the various DEST paths in
+ Makefile.set.
-796. [doc] some spelling errors, omissions, and misdirections removed.
+ 352. [bug] Because of problems with setting an infinite rlim_max
+ for RLIMIT_NOFILE on some systems, previous versions
+ of the server implemented "limit files unlimited" by
+ setting the limit to the value returned by
+ sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). The server will now use
+ RLIM_INFINITY on systems which allow it.
-795. [security] "dig @0 version.bind chaos" no longer shows user names.
+ 351. [port] Updated HP/UX 10.x port.
-794. [bug] make d_rcnt larger; reorder databuf for packing efficiency.
+ 350. [bug] errno could be changed by certain signal handlers.
+ These signal handlers now save errno on entry
+ and restore it on exit. This changes eliminates the
+ need for the SPURIOUS_ECHILD #define.
-793. [bug] we forgot to reset a pointer after a realloc (named_xfer.c).
+ 349. [bug] hesiod.h wasn't installed.
-792. [bug] RRset TTL was not being maintained coherently.
+ 348. [port] Added support for LynxOS.
-791. [doc] BOG was off by one in its ndots description.
+ 347. [bug] res_update() leaked the zone section it allocated.
+ This leak no longer occurs on normal returns, but
+ still occurs when there is an abnormal return. This
+ will be addressed in a future fix.
-790. [whining] preserve forwarded RRset order for one last release.
+ 346. [bug] Fix 303 fixed one thing and broke another, resulting
+ in a nonfunctional grscan().
-789. [bug] TCP timeouts were leaking file descriptors.
+ 345. [bug] Fix 328 was bad, causing the root zone to be purged
+ every time a toplevel domain was reloaded.
-788. [bug] AXFR needs 64K to fit in, not PACKETSZ.
+ 344. [bug] The priming fix in change 330 erroneously called
+ unsched() twice, causing a core dump if priming
+ failed. The priming fix could also erroneously
+ query [0.0.0.0].0.
-787. [bug] dangling CNAMEs caused erroneous forwarded responses.
+ 343. [bug] The REQUIRE() in free_rrecp() was wrong, and was
+ triggered by an unapproved update.
-786. [protocol] better checking of incoming additional data.
+ 342. [port] Added support for SCO UNIX 3.2v5.0.4.
-785. [bug] forced reload of parents after zone expiry had problems.
+ --- 8.1.2-T2A released ---
-784. [bug] SRV RR's were not decoded properly.
+ 341. [port] The LOG_CONS option to openlog() does not work as
+ documented on some systems. The server will now use
+ LOG_CONS only if USE_LOG_CONS is defined by the
+ port. Currently the bsdos, decunix, freebsd, linux,
+ and netbsd ports define USE_LOG_CONS.
-783. [bug] BUFSIZ is less than PACKETSZ on some systems (overruns).
+ 340. [bug] The pid file was updated before the configuration
+ file had been read.
-782. [bug] named could spin on invalid TCP input formats (ns_main.c).
+ 339. [port] #define HAVE_GETRUSAGE for Solaris >= 2.5.
-781. [bug] short names of all hex digits were being handled incorrectly.
+ 338. [func] 'host' can now print AAAA records.
-780. [bug] doupdate was handling BOGUSNS and syslog messages incorrectly.
+ 337. [bug] rm_datum() erroneously set dp->d_next to NULL
+ when savedpp wasn't NULL. Given a dynamic update
+ operation that deleted more than one RR, this bug
+ would cause all but one of the RRs to be leaked, and
+ would prevent correct rollback if the update failed.
-779. [bug] named-xfer can now handle RFC1035-compliant zone transfers.
+ 336. [bug] Make sure 's' isn't negative in res_send(). This
+ shouldn't happen, but there have been some reports
+ suggesting it can happen.
-778. [security] wire protocol names now limited to MAXCDNAME octets.
+ 335. [lint] Cleaned up more gcc warnings.
-777. [port] res_send name redefinition now covered by BIND_RES_POSIX3.
+ 334. [port] Added support for HP-UX 9.x.
- --- 4.9.5-p1 released ---
+ 333. [bug] db_glue.c didn't compile if DEBUG wasn't defined.
-776. [doc] doc/misc/FAQ.* updated by its author.
+ 332. [bug] named-bootconf.pl didn't convert secondary lines
+ that didn't contain a filename correctly.
-775. [bug] KEY RRs were not allowed to default fields per [DNSSEC].
+ 331. [bug] If the server was configured with forwarders (but
+ not in forward-only mode), and a query ran out of
+ forwarders and had no nameservers, then the server
+ would erroneously forward the request to [0.0.0.0].0.
-774. [bug] nslookup was overflowing yet another internal data structure.
+ 330. [bug] If priming of the root servers failed, recovery could
+ take a long time. If using forwarders to prime
+ and the query expired, the first forwarder would
+ always be skipped on subsequent attempts. The server
+ complained about priming problems in forward-only mode,
+ even though it doesn't matter.
-773. [bug] syslog was being given an unprotected string to format from.
+ 329. [port] Some versions of Linux apparently need SPURIOUS_ECHILD.
-772. [debug] a debugging syslog() was made clearer.
+ 328. [bug] purge_zone() didn't recurse if given the root zone,
+ causing old data and new data for the root zone to be
+ merged.
-771. [contrib] contrib/host updated by its author.
+ 327. [func] Add log_check() and log_check_channel().
-770. [bug] nslookup was overflowing an internal data structure.
+ 326. [func] Add r_prev field to ns_updrec in <arpa/nameser.h>.
-769. [port] ultrix linkage hackery removed from res/res_comp.c.
+ 325. [bug] Rollback of a failed dynamic update was done in FIFO
+ order instead of LIFO order.
-768. [lint] named-xfer u_char* vs. char*.
+ 324. [bug] evTryAccept() closed the wrong fd if getsockname()
+ failed.
-767. [port] shres/sunos updates from the author.
+ 323. [bug] eventlib didn't clear bits that had been serviced
+ or deselected out of ctx->{rd,wr,ex}Last.
-766. [bug] nslookup was not limiting the number of addresses it handled.
+ 322. [bug] evDestroy() destroyed the files list before destroying
+ the streams list. If there were any active streams,
+ this would cause a double destroy of the streams'
+ file objects, very likely triggering an 'insist'.
-765. [port] LOG_NOWAIT turned on if available.
+ 321. [bug] The correct error code for a failed asynchronous
+ connect was not reported. It now is, at least on
+ systems that have the SO_ERROR socket option.
-764. [lint] nslookup NULL vs ERROR.
+ 320. [func] Allow multiple pending accepts. evTryAccept() now
+ reports the errno if an error was queued.
-763. [bug] p_rr() was erroneously reporting short packets.
+ 319. [bug] The toplevel Makefile passed MARGS before $settings,
+ which prevented overriding a port's Makefile.set
+ from the command line.
-762. [bug] minor memory leak fixed (during bad-name syslogging).
+ 318. [bug] The Solaris port_after.h checked for SUNOS_2_5_1
+ instead of SUNOS_5_5_1.
-761. [port] NeXTstep portability improved for modern systems.
+ 317. [unused] [This change number was allocated but not used.]
-760. [bug] NAPTR RR support was incomplete/broken in named-xfer.
+ 316. [bug] evTryAccept() didn't append to the done list correctly
+ if connLast wasn't NULL.
-759. [port] The resolver's POSIX.3 conformance is now optional since
- it was causing trouble for vendor shared library editing.
+ 315. [bug] The dynamic update code was incorrectly converted to
+ clean up ns_updrec structures using the new clustered
+ memory allocator, and this would cause an 'insist' to
+ be triggered some time after a dynamic update had
+ been processed. Instead of freeing the ns_updrec
+ fields directly in ns_update.c, res_freeupdrec() was
+ added to the resolver.
- --- 4.9.5-rel released ---
+ 314. [bug] Adding and then deleting an RR in a single dynamic
+ update request would crash the server.
-758. [doc] more Linux libc discussions included.
+ 313. [bug] The nameserver would only try zone transfers from
+ the master that answered its SOA query. If a master
+ for some reason can answer the SOA but not the AXFR,
+ the other masters (if any) should be tried.
-757. [doc] RFCs 1876, 1995, 1996, 2010, and 2052 now included.
+ 312. [security] Bounds checking in the resolver and dynamic update
+ code had problems similar to those in item 293.
+ Added more checks to ns_resp.c.
-756. [contrib] new version of contrib/host received from author.
+ 311. [bug] The s_wbuf in the qstream structure was leaked in
+ certain zone transfer failures.
-755. [bug] nslookup had a latent buffer overrun in initialization.
+ 310. [bug] If the server ran out of memory in ns_xfr(), the
+ subsequent connection cleanup could modify the
+ z_numxfrs field of zone 0 instead of the zone being
+ transferred, causing an 'insist' to be triggered later.
-754. [port] NCR's flavour of SVr4 is now supported.
+ 309. [bug] NAMELEN() could return a negative length.
-753. [bug] fp_nquery() could read past end of buffer. (fix from BIND 8.1)
+ 308. [func] Don't log ECONNRESET in stream_getlen().
-752. [conf] SENSIBLE_DOTS is now the default. SGI can use WANT_PIDFILE.
+ 307. [bug] include/isc/assertions.h and include/isc/list.h
+ weren't installed.
-751. [doc] the the BOG had an extra "the" in two places.
+ 306. [bug] Timewarping into the future would cause repeating
+ timers to generate an event for every interval between
+ the previous time and the new time. Repeating timers
+ are now rescheduled based on the last event time, not
+ their due time. Idle timers now use the last event
+ time to compute the idle interval instead of the due
+ time.
-750. [bug] erroneous zones weren't resetting z_ftime.
+ 305. [bug] The BOUNDS_CHECK() for the 5 32-bit integers in the
+ SOA RR was wrong.
-749. [bug] named-xfer's handling of unknown type codes was not robust.
- (it's still wrong but now it's wrong more gracefully.)
+ 304. [bug] lib/isc/assertions.c and lib/isc/memcluster.c did not
+ follow the port_{before/after}.h convention.
+ memcluster.c #included eventlib.h but did not need it.
-748. [lint] u_char vs. char changes in db_load.c.
+ --- 8.1.2-T1A released ---
-747. [bug] a previous patch had leftovers.
+ 303. [bug] 'bp' in grscan() in lib/irs/lcl_gr.c was incorrectly
+ validated, potentially causing corrupt data to be read.
-746. [bug] dangling CNAMEs were not handled properly.
+ 302. [port] #define HAVE_GETRUSAGE for Solaris >= 2.5.1.
-745. [doc] shres/sunos/INSTALL, ./INSTALL and man/gethostbyname.3
- modernized.
+ 301. [port] Added support for Solaris 2.6.
-744. [bug] NAPTR replacement domains were being verified as hostnames.
+ 300. [bug] The space for the pathname of named-xfer in the
+ options block leaked.
-743. [port] hpux10.10 makefile cleanup.
+ 299. [bug] <irs.h> wasn't in the include directory, and wasn't
+ included before "port_after.h".
-742. [bug] inet_net_pton() was doing bad things to subnets and b'casts.
+ 298. [func] Added "deallocate-on-exit" and "memstatistics-file"
+ options. If deallocate-on-exit is "yes", the server
+ will painstakingly deallocate every object it
+ allocated. This is slower than letting the OS clean
+ things up, but is helpful in detecting memory leaks.
-741. [func] source and owner are now logged with name errors.
+ 297. [port] GNU libc 2.0 doesn't have <nlist.h> so in the
+ Linux port we now provide a stub nlist.h that
+ includes the real nlist.h if GNU libc < 2.0 and
+ does nothing if >= 2.0.
- --- 4.9.5-t6b released ---
+ 296. [bug] "make stdlinks" didn't "mkdir /var/obj" if /var/obj
+ didn't exist.
-740. [bug] dangling cname checking had a few memory leaks.
+ 295. [bug] Specifying a query-source with and address and port
+ that the server was listening to didn't work.
-739. [func] SRV support made more complete; NAPTR support added.
+ 294. [security] The server was willing to answer queries on its
+ forwarding sockets.
-738. [protocol] dangling CNAMEs are no longer considered format errors.
+ 293. [security] rrextract() did insufficient bounds checking which
+ could cause it to crash the server by reading from
+ an invalid memory location.
-737. [bug] owner domain names like "*." were not considered valid.
+ 292. [bug] The server sometimes leaked the flushset (ns_resp.c).
-736. [contrib] new version of contrib/host included.
+ 291. [bug] The server did not detect oversized UDP packets,
+ causing useless retries.
-735. [doc] added some text to shres/solaris/INSTALL.
+ 290. [bug] free_listen_info_list() leaked the IP matching lists;
+ the leak occurred when the config file was reloaded.
-734. [bug] loading a zone with a single line SOA RR killed following line.
+ 289. [bug] [This bug number was allocated for something that
+ turned out not to be a bug.]
-733. [bug] priming could deadlock in odd cases.
+ 288. [func] Add new list and assertion code to the ISC library.
-732. [bug] SIGHUP now caught before initial zone load.
+ 287. [bug] "dig +sort" doesn't do anything, but was mentioned
+ in dig's usage message, as well as in the man page.
-731. [bug] IP/TCP session logging now controlled by #ifdef DEBUG.
+ 286. [bug] Some systems have a default FD_SETSIZE much smaller
+ than the number of files that can be opened. This
+ could cause problems in the resolver and eventlib.
+ FD_SETSIZE may now be set in
+ port/*/include/fd_setsize.h.
-730. [port] untested HPUX 10 support added to top level Makefile.
+ 285. [bug] If OS probing failed to match any of the supported
+ ports, the build would try to continue with BSD 4.4
+ settings, with poor results in most situations. An
+ error message is now printed if probing fails.
-729. [port] ultrix vs. _res_close(); ultrix wins.
+ 284. [func] The interface list is now doubly-linked.
-728. [bug] several d_rcode references weren't #ifdef'd NCACHE.
+ 283. [bug] The server would panic if binding to an interface that
+ it had discovered failed. Simply not listening to
+ the interface is a better solution.
-727. [bug] SOA timer warnings now consistently logged at LOG_WARNING.
+ 282. [bug] The nslookup Makefile didn't prefix DESTHELP with
+ DESTDIR when setting DEFS.
-726. [protocol] added T_NAPTR as RR type 35, hoping the IANA concurs.
+ 281. [bug] A socket() called in ns_main.c used PF_INET instead
+ of AF_INET.
- --- 4.9.5-t5b released ---
+ 280. [bug] The sample named.conf used "clean-interval" instead of
+ "cleaning-interval".
-725. [port] shared libraries should work on Linux now.
+ 279. [bug] Some panic() messages in the IP matching code in
+ ns_config.c were wrong.
-724. [bug] "dig @0 VERSION.BIND TXT CHAOS" had never been tested.
+ 278. [bug] Setting an interval to zero (e.g. interface-interval)
+ eventually caused random timer destruction.
-723. [port] Solaris 2.6 has AF_LINK but not sa_len.
+ 277. [bug] ns_panic() used "args" twice, but only called
+ va_start() and va_end() once.
-722. [protocol] verify RdLength of A and AAAA RRs.
+ 276. [bug] nslookup's "ls" command always listed all records
+ instead of behaving the way its man page describes.
-721. [port] missing include directories will be made during "install".
+ 275. [bug] add_related_additional() leaked memory if the name
+ was already in the related array.
-720. [port] solaris and sunos should use native assemblers with gcc.
+ 274. [bug] If a timer was cleared while in executing its callback,
+ and a new non-repeating timer was created afterwards
+ (but still in the callback), the new timer was
+ erroneously destroyed when the callback completed.
-719. [port] cleaned up some A/UX linkages.
+ 273. [func] Added transfer-source and host-statistics options.
-718. [func] some SOA sanity checks were changed from errors to warnings.
+ 272. [func] The zone number is now unsigned, allowing up to
+ 65536 zones instead of the previous limit of 32768.
-717. [port] BSD/named/Makefile needed to have dmalloc.c reference removed.
+ 271. [func] Added evDefer().
-716. [protocol] cnames and referrals were generating spurious log messages.
+ 270. [bug] The meaning of the count returned by select() varies
+ somewhat by operating system. Under certain
+ circumstances, this confused eventlib's accounting and
+ caused the server to spin.
-715. [port] ultrix PCC didn't like a =&, said it was ambigious somehow.
+ 269. [func] Added evLastEventTime().
- --- 4.9.5-t4b released ---
+ 268. [bug] Connections weren't cleaned up when the eventlib
+ context was destroyed.
-714. [port] contrib/os2-emx now contains files nec'y for OS/2 (EMX).
+ 267. [func] Added evTimeRW() and evUntimeRW() to control idle timer
+ usage in the eventlib streams module.
+
+ 266. [func] Added file descriptor table to ev_files.c to improve
+ performance of evSelect() and evDeselect().
-713. [func] gethostbyname2(x, AF_INET6) now accepts address literals.
+ 265. [func] Added evHold(), evUnhold(), and evTryAccept().
-712. [bug] gethostbyname() wasn't seeing RES_USE_INET6 early enough.
+ 264. [func] Double-link many eventlib lists to allow faster
+ removal of list elements.
-711. [bug] nslookup was printing IPv6 addresses improperly.
+ 263. [bug] Remember the previous non-blocking status of
+ sockets given to evListen().
-710. [port] an alignment bug was found and fixed by Cray.
+ 262. [func] Added idle timers to eventlib.
-709. [bug] named-xfer was dumping core on incoming LOC RRs.
+ 261. [func] Added clustered memory allocator to eventlib; eventlib
+ and named now use this allocator.
-708. [protocol] primary zones are edited to make rrset ttl's coherent during
- loading.
+ 260. [func] The value of FD_SETSIZE that eventlib uses can be
+ set by changing include/fd_setsize.h.
-707. [protocol] rrsets with coherent ttl's won't be overridden by new rrsets
- with incoherent ttl's.
+ 259. [bug] Notification of hosts on the also-notify list stopped
+ after the first successful notification.
-706. [port] Ultrix portability restored.
+ --- 8.1.1 released ---
-705. [func] added "limit files XXX" to boot file.
+ 258. [bug] Setting SO_SNDLOWAT to 0 in ns_xfr() wasn't doing
+ what it was intended to do, and could trigger a
+ kernel bug on various systems derived from BSD 4.4.
-704. [bug] trace generation code was getting unaligned accesses.
+ 257. [bug] In lib/irs/dns_ho.c, variable needsort was used in
+ addrsort() before it was initialized.
-703. [contrib] added contrib/getkeyby, from gnu@toad.com.
+ 256. [func] Ignore ECHILD from select() if SPURIOUS_ECHILD is
+ defined.
-702. [func] MAXDNAME is now 4*256+1 to allow for \000 and the NUL.
+ 255. [bug] The contents of libport.a needed to be in libbind.a.
+ libport.a has been removed.
-701. [bug] samedomain() wasn't paying attention to escapes.
+ 254. [install] Install library and .h files under /usr/local/bind
+ instead of /usr/local. When the include files were
+ in /usr/local/include, some compilers would
+ automatically use them. The clients would typically
+ not link with -lbind, causing unresolved symbols at
+ link time.
-700. [func] allow long text strings in T_X25 RRs.
+ 253. [port] Removed change 216.
-699. [port] added base64.c to shres/*/Makefile.
+ 252. [port] Added port for UnixWare 2.0.x.
-698. [port] picked some lint out of tools/nslookup/getinfo.c.
+ 251. [doc] Added a documentation on installing to non-default
+ locations.
-697. [bug] we were calling isupper() without calling isascii() first.
+ 250. [bug] The Makefiles for the binaries didn't create the
+ installation target directories if they didn't exist.
-696. [protocol] a new kind of bad referral is now caught and ignored.
+ 249. [bug] Change HAS_SA_LEN to HAVE_SA_LEN in the AIX 4 port.
- --- 4.9.5-t3b released ---
+ 248. [security] The server now caches only those response records
+ that are within the current query domain.
-695. [func] Use delete_stale() in preference to delete_all() more often.
+ 247. [bug] Forwarding of dynamic update requests sent to a
+ slave for the zone is broken. This will be fixed
+ in a future release, but in the meantime the server
+ will simply refuse the request. Cleaned up the
+ way some update code indicated that the request should
+ be refused.
-694. [func] DATUMREFCNT is no longer an option.
+ --- 8.1.1-T2B released ---
-693. [port] fixed up the CPPFLAGS usage in the top level Makefile.
+ 246. [bug] process_prereq() could core dump if the name being
+ processed wasn't known.
-692. [port] fixed up the __ defines (for POSIX.3) in include/resolv.h.
+ 245. [bug] It was possible to evSelectFD the same event bits
+ on the same fd more than once.
-691. [port] removed all uses of "ssize_t", the world is not ready for it.
- (fixed two latent signed/unsigned code bugs in the process.)
+ 244. [bug] eventlib didn't decrement fdCount correctly if the
+ eventmask matched in multiple descriptor sets.
- --- 4.9.5-t3a released ---
+ 243. [lint] Improved comment in stale().
-690. [bug] the stale() and delete_all() calls in finddata() weren't
- respectful toward T_ANY and C_ANY queries.
+ 242. [port] Added port for OpenBSD.
-689. [lint] miscellaneous compiler warnings were disappeared.
+ 241. [bug] evConnect() didn't evDeselect() the fd if connect()
+ failed, which would cause us to call select() with
+ a mask that included a closed file. select() would
+ then return EBADF and trigger an 'insist'.
-688. [func] handles insane/unreachable root servers a little better now.
+ 240. [bug] evCancelConn() closed the fd.
-687. [bug] T1A's core dumps from bad databufs should be all fixed now.
+ 239. [port] SunOS doesn't supply RAND_MAX.
-686. [func] overlong TXT strings should work again.
+ 238. [bug] fakeaddr() called inet_aton() which wasn't strict
+ enough. inet_pton() is now used.
-685. [port] updated compat/include/sys/cdefs.h to BSD 4.4-Lite (8.7) vers.
+ 237. [port] Added UnixWare 2.1.2 port.
-684. [doc] doc/i-d/* added.
+ 236. [bug] The buffer in res_querydomain could overflow.
-683. [contrib] "nslint" added to contrib/.
+ 235. [bug] Fixed memory allocation problems in lib/irs/nis_gr.c.
-682. [protocol] irrelevant authority information is now correctly ignored.
+ 234. [bug] evDeselectFD didn't restore the fd's previous
+ nonblocking status correctly.
-681. [func] DO_RELOAD Is no longer optional.
+ 233. [func] Define SPURIOUS_ECHILD in Solaris port. Don't
+ complain about getting ECHILD from recvfrom() if
+ SPURIOUS_ECHILD is defined.
-680. [cleanup] ALLOW_UPDATES is gone.
+ 232. [func] named-bootconf.pl now supplies a commented out
+ query-source directive and instructions to use it
+ if there's a firewall involved.
-679. [port] some systems need _res to be in text rather than bss.
+ 231. [bug] Changed a few strdup() calls in rrextract() into
+ savestr() calls. This prevents "related" checking
+ from being turned off if the server runs out of
+ memory.
-678. [port] -Dssize_t=int is gone; see portability.h.
+ 230. [bug] If the query control structure was reset in ns_resp.c,
+ we leaked the memory used for the previous
+ qp->q_domain.
-677. [contrib] outdates #671; update to contrib/host version 960808.
+ 229. [func] Added the "dump-file" and "statistics-file" options.
-676. [doc] formatting fix to man/named.man8.
+ 228. [bug] named.conf called "statistics-interval"
+ "stats-interval".
- --- 4.9.5-t2a released ---
+ 227. [func] demoted "zones changed" and "zones shrunk" messages
+ in tryxfer() to debug level 3.
-675. [lint] various.
+ --- 8.1.1-T1A released ---
-674. [feature] support added for SRV RR (untested).
+ 226. [bug] evCancelConn trashed the connections list if the
+ first element was removed. This could cause a
+ seg fault or trigger an 'insist'.
-673. [protocol] added definitions for EID, NIMLOC, SRV, ATMA, and IXFR.
+ 225. [bug] In the "cannot redefine listen-on for port ..."
+ error message, the port was not converted to host
+ byte order before being printed.
-672. [bug] fixed decoding problem wrt AAAA in tools/nslookup/debug.c.
+ 224. [port] Added port for AIX 4.
-671. [bug] fixed formatting problem wrt TXT in contrib/host/host.c.
+ 223. [bug] The dynamic update routine findzone() didn't match
+ class, so if you had two zones with the same name
+ but different classes (e.g. IN and HS), then
+ the wrong allow-update ACL could be used, and the
+ wrong zone could be updated.
- --- 4.9.5-t1a released ---
+ 222. [bug] If a dynamic master zone was updated and then was made
+ non-dynamic by removing the allow-update ACL or
+ changing it to "none" before the zone had been dumped,
+ then the master file would not reflect the update.
-670. [feature] added SIG and KEY RR support (without signature or
- verification).
+ 221. [func] added 'also-notify'.
-669. [internal] name/number translations are now mostly table driven.
+ 220. [func] revised HAVE_GETRUSAGE ifdefs in ns_config.c. The
+ "cannot set resource limits on this system" message
+ on systems without HAVE_GETRUSAGE will now be logged
+ once per options block, and the message severity is
+ now "info" instead of "warning".
-668. [feature] nslookup now has better[/different] error messages.
+ 219. [bug] If the root name was encoded in a message using a
+ compression pointer, dn_expand() would erroneously
+ return "." as the name instead of "".
-667. [feature] inet_neta(), inet_net_ntop(), inet_net_pton() added.
+ 218. [bug] when gethostans() in dns_ho.c encountered a CNAME
+ while processing a PTR query, it erroneously required
+ that the CNAME target pass the res_hnok() test (i.e.
+ that it be an RFC 952 hostname).
-666. [bug] parent zone will be reloaded when a child zone changes.
+ 217. [bug] dnsquery didn't work because it tried to use the
+ obsolete and broken p_query() call instead of
+ fp_nquery().
-665. [protocol] RETURNSOA logic has been refined, and now ships "enabled."
+ 216. [port] set SH=bash in port/freebsd/Makefile.set.
-664. [protocol] cached RRsets are now completely flushed when new data arrives.
+ 215. [port] #define ts_sec and ts_nsec to tv_sec and tv_nsec
+ respectively in port/freebsd/include/port_before.h.
-663. [port] IRIX shared libraries are now supported.
+ 214. [bug] the clarification TTL changes (see change 145 below)
+ set the SOA minimum field to zero if the MSB was set.
+ The server now leaves the SOA RR alone, but sets
+ z_minimum to zero if the MSB is set.
-662. [port] SCO OSE5 support has been upgraded slightly.
+ 213. [bug] if the SOA refresh or retry fields of a slave zone
+ were 0, an 'insist' would be triggered when zone
+ maintenance was performed. The server still leaves
+ the SOA RR alone, but now imposes a minimum value for
+ z_refresh and z_retry.
-661. [bug] insane root servers will now be handled correctly.
+ 212. [func] added the clean-interval, interface-interval, and
+ statistics-interval options.
-660. [bug] TXT RRs are now parsed and displayed in full RFC1035 form.
+ 211. [func] scan for new or deleted interfaces periodically.
-659. [port] UXP/DS is now supported in the top level Makefile.
+ 210. [func] the _PATH_DUMPFILE default is now "named_dump.db".
-658. [feature] BIND now checks that UDP checksums are enabled in the kernel.
+ 209. [bug] <isc/eventlib.h> and <isc/logging.h> were #included
+ after port_after.h. They are now #included before
+ it, since they #include system header files.
+ ns_lexer.h was #including <stdio.h> and ns_parseutil.h.
+ Now it #includes neither one. These changes required
+ that the definition of struct timespec be moved from
+ port_after.h to port_before.h in the ULTRIX, SunOS,
+ and A/UX ports.
- --- 4.9.4-p1 released ---
+ 208. [port] removed HAVE_GETRUSAGE from the Solaris port, since
+ Solaris only has it if a Berkeley compatibility
+ package is installed.
-657. [bug] some configurations were mistakenly disabling cache purges.
+ 207. [bug] abortxfer() always used SIGKILL, which didn't give
+ named-xfer a chance to clean up after itself. Now
+ abortxfer() does a SIGTERM first. If the SIGTERM isn't
+ successful, it will use SIGKILL.
-656. [doc] "\ " was causing a line break in zone file parsing.
+ 206. [bug] If two zones with the same name but different classes
+ (e.g. IN and HS) were defined, then a zone transfer
+ of whichever zone loaded first would work normally,
+ but a zone transfer of the second would give only the
+ NS and SOA RRs.
-655. [doc] named(8) wasn't describing the "response" literal.
+ 205. [bug] certain operating systems (notably Solaris) return
+ error codes the server didn't expect, and thus
+ treated as fatal to the interface. More error codes
+ are now recognized. The server will now log
+ unrecognized errors, but will not delete the
+ interface. Certain error results from recvfrom() and
+ accept() now panic the server.
-654. [doc] formatting errors fixed in include/arpa/nameser.h.
+ 204. [bug] stub zone transfers would fail if there were no
+ NS records in the SOA response. The stub logic
+ now works as intended and has more error checking.
-653. [doc] doc/misc/DynamicUpdate now has a deprecating comment.
+ 203. [bug] we logged a failure of bind() in opensocket_d()
+ twice.
-652. [bug] BSD/nslookup/Makefile was making the wrong links.
+ 202. [port] Linux defines AF_INET6 as 10, so we use that value
+ in port/linux/include/port_after.h.
-651. [bug] a hashing function should be as simple as possible,
- but not simpler.
+ 201. [bug] library Makefiles want to press on if linking of
+ an individual module fails. The 'ld' rule was
+ set up to do this, but the subsequent 'mv' rule
+ was not, causing the make to stop if the 'ld' failed.
+ Now the 'mv' is done only if the 'ld' succeeds.
-650. [bug] dn_mailok() could walk off the end of the name buffer.
+ 200. [bug] the value of timeout.tv_sec was printed in SendRequest
+ (bin/nslookup/send.c). select() on some systems
+ (such as Linux) modifies the value of the timeout, so
+ printing it is useless since it will always be 0.
-649. [bug] bad names were not exiting through the right code path.
+ 199. [func] if s is too big for FD_SETSIZE in res_send, complain
+ and try another nameserver.
-648. [bug] we were referencing dynamic memory after free()'ing it.
+ 198. [bug] sysnotify() was too strict in requiring an NS RR
+ for the server named in the SOA MNAME field. RFCs
+ 1996 and 2136 say the NS RR is optional.
-647. [bug] savename() was bzero()'ing the wrong number of bytes.
+ 197. [bug] The parser erroneously freed zone_name if a zone
+ redefinition was attempted. This would cause the
+ server to dump core if a zone appeared more than
+ once in a configuration file.
-646. [bug] ctypes.h needed to be included in res/res_debug.c.
+ 196. [bug] Makefiles below port/*/include had "fi \" followed
+ by "done" on the next line. This made bash 2.0
+ unhappy. The "fi" is now followed by a ";".
-645. [port] sys/types.h needed to be included in a lot of places.
+ 195. [port] ULTRIX's sh doesn't like an empty "for x in ..." list,
+ and that was causing "make install" to fail in
+ the src/port/ultrix/include/rpc directory.
- --- 4.9.4-rel released ---
+ 194. [port] add SH variable to toplevel Makefile, document the
+ need to use SH=bash on systems where /bin/sh is
+ derived from "ash".
-644. [bug] gethnamadr.c:getanswer() wasn't decrementing buflen.
+ 193. [bug] named-bootconf.pl could repeat end-of-line comments
-643. [contrib] new contrib/misc/gencidrzone.
+ 192. [bug] ndc was being installed in DESTBIN instead of
+ DESTSBIN.
- --- 4.9.4-t5b released ---
+ 191. [bug] block delivery of all other signals when in SIGTERM
+ handler in named-xfer.
-642. [bug] SOA serial checking was not trying backup servers.
+ 190. [bug] named-bootconf.pl didn't handle non-masked xfrnets
+ correctly if the network was class B or class C.
-641. [doc] added doc/rfc/rfc1713.
+ --- 8.1-REL released ---
-640. [bug] don't try to purge the cache on nonrecursive servers.
+ 189. [port] update to the port/sco50 directory rcvd from author.
-639. [bug] sysquery() was not recovering from lack of root servers.
+ 188. [func] to avoid potentially confusing log messages, don't
+ set Z_DYNAMIC if "allow-update { none; };" is
+ specified in the config file.
-638. [bug] dnsquery.c wasn't calling res_init().
+ 187. [bug] a panic() in new_ip_match_mask() erroneously
+ referred to the function as "new_ip_match_pattern".
-637. [bug] ns_resp() was erroneously detecting name errors.
+ 186. [bug] transfers-in couldn't be set higher than the default.
+ It may now be set as high as 20.
-636. [bug] nslookup() was returning failure even when fwdrs were avail.
+ 185. [doc] add a stub example to named.conf.
-635. [bug] inet_pton() was returning EINVAL rather than EAFNOSUPPORT.
+ 184. [bug] the usage message was out-of-date.
- --- 4.9.4-t4b released ---
+ 183. [port] some systems don't define AF_INET6, so we
+ define it if necessary in all port_after.h
+
+ --- 8.1-T5B released ---
-634. [bug] named-xfer was writing AAAA RRs to the wrong file pointer.
+ 182. [bug] fix the way bindname is allocated in hesiod_to_bind().
-633. [port] ULTRIX and RISCOS both need NEED_STRDUP in conf/portability.h.
+ 181. [bug] MAXHOSTNAMELEN wasn't defined on Solaris.
-632. [bug] BSD/named/Makefile was installing its man page in section 1.
+ 180. [bug] a check for zptr != NULL in res_update was wrong. It
+ should have been zptr == NULL.
- --- 4.9.4-t4a released ---
+ 179. [bug] sq_remove() and sq_done() were calling ns_freexfr()
+ when any stream was removed, resulting in a panic
+ when the server was reloaded. ns_freexfr() is now
+ only called when a zone transfer stream is removed.
-631. [bug] nslookup was dumping core on bad 'server' commands.
+ --- 8.1-T4B released ---
-630. [bug] dig was not able to print SRV RRs.
+ 178. [bug] if the server was reloaded and then a zone was
+ deleted and the server reloaded again, all within
+ a short period of time, then pending NOTIFY messages
+ would cause the server to panic when they ran.
-629. [bug] dig was seeing artificial protocol errors printing AAAA RRs.
+ 177. [lint] replaced BUFSIZ with a more appropriate size in
+ several places.
- --- 4.9.4-t3b released ---
+ 176. [func] change MAXDATA to 2*MAXDNAME + 5*INT32SZ.
-628. [bug] "stub ." changes were being updated in the wrong place.
+ 175. [security] libirs now limits hostnames to MAXHOSTNAMELEN
+ characters.
-627. [bug] forgot to remove fourth arg from inet_pton() in tools/addr.c.
+ 174. [bug] we called ns_refreshtime() instead of ns_retrytime()
+ in the Z_NEED_RELOAD|Z_NEED_XFER|Z_QSERIAL case in
+ zone_maint().
-626. [port] was missing -DSPRINTF_CHAR in one spot in the top Makefile.
+ 173. [bug] the server didn't clear the Z_NEED_RELOAD flag in
+ zoneinit().
- --- 4.9.4-t3a released ---
+ 172. [bug] if a server was a slave for a zone, and an outbound
+ transfer ever hung or terminated unusually, regular
+ zone maintenance would cease for the zone.
-625. [api] inet_pton()'s signature changed due to ipng@sunroof discussion.
+ 171. [port] work around a bug in the Digital UNIX 4.0B SIOCGIFCONF
+ ioctl.
-624. [port] shres/* should work again (was broken by inet_ntop, inet_pton)
+ 170. [func] the message logged when a zone is loaded now
+ indicates the class of the zone.
-623. [bug] sprintf() doesn't return "int" on DomainOS, either.
+ 169. [func] the message logged when a zone is removed now
+ indicates both the type and class of the zone.
- --- 4.9.4-t2a released ---
+ 168. [bug] if a zone's type changed from master to slave on a
+ server reload, the server erroneously deleted the
+ new zone data as part of cleaning up the old zone
+ data.
-622. [bug] sprintf() doesn't return "int" on SunOS or ULTRIX.
+ 167. [func] when converting from wire format to printable format,
+ represent special characters ".;\@$ by escaping them
+ with \ instead of converting them to \DDD.
- --- 4.9.4-t1a released ---
+ 166. [bug] when a slave zone expired, it was not scheduled for
+ immedidate maintenance.
-622. [bug] more print errors in the name validation logic fixed.
+ 165. [port] added port for SCO OSE 5.0.2, renamed port for
+ SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2.
-621. [feature] added support for IPv6 addresses to the resolver and daemon.
- see doc/misc/IPv6 for details.
+ 164. [func] created the "response-checks" logging category.
-620. [perf] XSTATS off by default. client stats now in XSTATS.
+ 163. [port] don't define AF_INET6 in nameser_compat.h.
-619. [conf] LOC_RR is on by default (it's an RFC now).
+ 162. [bug] the server panicked if a dynamic update request
+ was sent for a dynamic zone which had not loaded
+ because of syntax errors in the master file. The
+ server now returns NOTAUTH.
-618. [perf] pulled in memory saving NAME,NAMELEN,NAMESIZE logic from
- development source pool.
+ 161. [bug] debugging messages in process_prereq() referred to
+ process_updates() instead of process_prereq().
-617. [bug] we were logging at INFO priority even when not loading a
- zone due to certain kinds of database format errors.
+ 160. [bug] hp was not reset after a realloc() in named-xfer.c
-616. [bug] truncated responses were not being forwarded.
+ 159. [bug] named-bootconf.pl didn't translate stub zones.
-615. [contrib] added contrib/misc/gencidrzone.pl, updated contrib/host.
+ 158. [lint] cast a number of "no effect" statements to void so
+ that gcc doesn't complain when invoked with
+ -Wall -W -Wno-unused
-614. [bug] minor and latent bug in dcalloc() fixed.
+ 157. [lint] a number of uses of the %lu printf() format were
+ converted to %u; the corresponding casts to u_long
+ were removed.
-613. [bug] the RFC952 + "_" code wasn't strict enough.
+ 156. [lint] converted z_deferupdcnt and z_updatecnt from int to
+ u_int32_t.
-612. [bug] the PTR name check was using ipv6.int rather than ip6.int.
+ 155. [func] maint_interval is now gone; SOA sanity checking
+ related to it is gone too.
-611. [conf] changed "check-names forwarded" to "check-names response".
+ 154. [bug] in named-xfer, unsigned 32-bit integers were
+ sometimes stored in signed 32-bit variables and then
+ printed using a cast to u_long and printf() format
+ %lu. This would cause problems on 64-bit systems if
+ the MSB of the 32-bit integer was set. The variable
+ declarations have been changed to u_int32_t, and the
+ printf format is now %u.
-610. [doc] man page said check-name, should have said check-names.
+ 153. [bug] log_open_stream() had two syslogs that said the
+ failing function was log_vwrite() instead of
+ log_open_stream().
-609. [bug] in res_send(), query ID mismatches weren't handled in VC's.
+ 152. [lint] made class, type, and dlen in rrextract() and
+ named-xfer.c/print_output() u_int16_t.
-608. [bug] res_send() would overrun its buffer when parsing truncated
- replies for its diagnostic output.
+ 151. [bug] the server was incrementing nssSentFErr in the
+ formerr: code in ns_resp.c even though it wasn't
+ sending FORMERR to anyone.
-607. [bug] EINTR wasn't causing a select() restart in res_send.
+ 150. [func] in "check-names response fail" mode, instead of
+ just dropping a failing response, we now send
+ REFUSED to the client and drop the query.
-606. [bug] fixed a race condition related to SO_LINGER.
+ 149. [bug] if there wasn't a space between the SOA minimum value
+ and a following ')' in a master file, the server
+ would generate an error when it tried to parse the
+ minimum value, causing the zone load to fail.
-605. [bug] some "lame delegation" messages were printing wrong information
+ 148. [func] the list of supported syslog facilities has been
+ increased; the following facilities may now be used,
+ provided they're available on the system 'named' is
+ being built on: kern, user, mail, daemon, auth,
+ syslog, lpr, news, uucp, cron, authpriv, ftp,
+ local[0-7].
-604. [bug] uncached out of zone CNAMEs were returning SERVFAIL rather
- than timing out; this prevented the client from retrying.
+ 147. [bug] the maybe_syslog_facility, logging_opt,
+ channel_severity, address_name, key_ref, key_stmt,
+ acl_stmt, zone_stmt, optional_class, and size_spec
+ rules in the parser either leaked memory or could
+ leak memory.
-603. [bug] lame delegations will now try other servers rather than just
- SERVFAIL'ing. the old behaviour was too draconian.
+ 146. [func] if an RR set in a reply differed from an RR set in
+ the cache only in the TTL, we would not update the
+ TTL of the RR set in the cache. We now update this
+ TTL to that of the reply RR set if the reply RR set's
+ TTL is greater.
-602. [security] we were cycling back through the volatile cache when searching
- for glue to match the bootstrap cache.
+ 145. [func] follow the direction of the clarification draft and
+ treat TTLs as unsigned 32-bit integers, with a
+ maximum value of 2^31 - 1. TTLs greater than the
+ maximum will be converted to 0. A warning will
+ be issued if this conversion occurs while loading
+ a master zone or during inbound zone transfer.
-601. [bug] we were not recognizing upward zone cuts in some circumstances
+ 144. [func] "dig version.bind. txt chaos" now returns only
+ the version number (e.g. "8.1-T4B").
-600. [API bug] getnetbyaddr() was taking a long, rather than a u_long.
+ 143. [lint] fixed various mismatches between printf() format
+ string components and their corresponding
+ arguments.
-599. [bug] PX RRs were not properly handled by named-xfer.c.
+ 142. [lint] SendRequest_close() in nslookup/send.c had a return
+ type of int instead of void.
-598. [bug] WKS RRs were written incorrectly in db_dump.c.
+ 141. [port] converted bcopy() to memcpy() or memmove() as
+ appropriate.
-597. [bug] named would not create a brand new pid file.
+ 140. [bug] certain buffer size checking comparisons in
+ rdata_expand() weren't working because they were
+ checking to see if an unsigned value was < 0.
-596. [bug] memory leak in ns_resp.c plugged.
+ 139. [func] convert a few address comparisons from == to using
+ ina_equal().
-595. [bug] another wildcarding bug (in ns_maint.c) stomped.
+ 138. [bug] an address comparison used in marking a server as
+ bad was done incorrectly in ns_resp.c because the
+ comparison used = instead of ==.
-594. [contrib] added contrib/misc/settransfer-gaine.shar.
+ 137. [lint] cleaned up warnings caused by assignment used as
+ truth-value in various source files.
-593. [security] db_load() will allow invalid SOA ANAMEs, for now.
+ 136. [func] changed eventlib-related INSIST statements into
+ INSIST_ERR, so that we can print out strerror(errno).
-592. [bug] dig and nslookup needed code from 4.9.4-T1A for AXFR (#589).
+ 135. [lint] replaced _getshort() with ns_get16() and _getlong()
+ with ns_get32() in various source files.
-591. [bug] dig and nslookup both dumped core if dn_expand() failed.
+ 134. [lint] findzone() and rdata_expand() were used before
+ they were declared in ns_update.c, and were not
+ declared static.
-590. [port] changed __RES to 19960229 due to dn_isvalid() API addition.
+ 133. [lint] merge_logs() was not declared in ns_func.h.
-589. [bug] named-xfer was unable to handle some compliant AXFR streams.
+ 132. [lint] Linux port_after.h didn't declare daemon(). We now
+ do so, but only if GNU libc < 2.0.

-582. [doc] added RFC 1912 which expands upon RFC 1537.
+ 125. [lint] res_mkupdate.c, ns_update.c, nsupdate.c, ns_print.c,
+ didn't #include <ctype.h>.
-581. [port] BSD really does not have SIGIOT any more, stop using it.
+ 124. [port] replaced bcmp() with memcmp().
-580. [bug] getnetent() could mangle /etc/networks input lines.
+ 123. [func] while not required, it's nice to preserve the order
+ of RRs as received when ROUND_ROBIN isn't on, so
+ we now do so.
-579. [bug] db_dump was printing -1 for TTL wherever default TTL was used.
+ 122. [bug] under certain improbable conditions, the server
+ could erroneously set a maintenance timer for a
+ master zone. When the timer went off, it would
+ trigger the INSIST() in zone_maint().
-578. [port] many scanf/printf patterns misused %lu, DEC AXP didn't like it.
+ 121. [port] replaced bzero() with memset().
-577. [bug] named-xfer and res_debug were mishandling "\\" in TXT/HINFO.
+ 120. [func] added multiple-cnames option.

+ 118. [port] added port for IRIX 5.3, 6.2, 6.4
-575. [port] Ultrix/Hesiod named responses are oversized, we were
- incorrectly accepting them and then overwriting the stack.
+ 117. [bug] removed declaration of getnum_error from db_load.c,
+ since it is now declared in ns_glob.h.
-574. [port] BSD/OS 2.1 required some ./BSD/Makefile changes.
+ 116. [bug] GNU libc 2.0 doesn't have a <net/route.h>, so in the
+ Linux port we now provide a stub net/route.h that
+ includes the real <net/route.h> if GNU libc < 2.0 and
+ does nothing if >= 2.0.
- --- 4.9.3-rel released ---
+ 115. [func] on Linux systems, avoid an often unnecessary 'ranlib'

-570. [doc] trivial man/named.8 tweak.
+ 111. [func] added "max-transfer-time-in" option. The server
+ used to allow a maximum of 2 hours for an inbound
+ zone transfer to complete. This time can now be
+ set globally or on a per-zone basis. The parameter
+ is the number of minutes a transfer can take.
-569. [doc] minor documentation tweak to shres/solaris/ISSUES.
+ 110. [func] moved declaration of d_ns in struct databuf to improve
+ structure alignment.
- --- 4.9.3-beta34 released ---
+ 109. [bug] addname() in ns_print.c didn't write an "@" for RRs
+ that contained a domain name which was the same as
+ the zone origin (it wrote nothing).
-568. [bug] very minor initialization bug fixed in tools/dig.c.
+ 108. [bug] the server didn't check for EINTR in readable() and
+ writable() in ev_streams.c.
-567. [bug] disabled VALIDATE; all this code is trash and will be removed
- along with ALLOW_UPDATES very early in the next alpha cycle.
- we are now back to the B26 level of stability, with several
- minor bug fixes from intervening betas.
+ 107. [bug] check for both EWOULDBLOCK and EAGAIN after certain
+ system calls instead of using PORT_WOULDBLK. This
+ fixes partial zone transfer problems reported on
+ Sun systems.
-566. [bug] fixed memory leak introduced in #565.
+ 106. [bug] db_load() couldn't read SOAs with ( ) that were only

+ debugging messages to debug level 2.
-564. [proto] we weren't stopping early enough on some kinds of truncation.
+ 103. [bug] d_rcnt could overflow; to prevent this it has been
+ increased to 32 bits. d_mark was made unsigned and
+ decreased to 12 bits.
-563. [doc] added doc/info/Solaris, concerning Sun Patch-ID# 102165-02.
+ 102. [func] added macro DRCNTDEC to go along with DRCNTINC.
-562. [bug] named/ns_resp.c had an overzealous #ifdef.
+ 101. [bug] clean_cache() didn't count deleted RRs, so it
+ always reported "Cleaned cache of 0 RRs".
-561. [port] tools/nslookup/getinfo.c had an ANSI C nit.
+ 100. [bug] heap_for_each() didn't return a status, and didn't
+ check for a NULL context or a NULL action.

+ 99. [bug] the category rule in the parser leaked memory.
-559. [doc] shres/* documentation had more pathname problems.
+ 98. [bug] "notify" was not recognized as a valid category
+ name.
-558. [port] SCO OSE5 portability problem (minor).
+ 97. [security] zone access control wasn't applied correctly to
+ names that didn't exist, allowing an attacker to
+ determine whether or not a given name exists in a
+ zone.
-557. [doc] added doc/misc/style.txt out of my archives.
+ 96. [bug] we didn't recognize certain non-fatal errno values
+ when recvfrom() failed; this would result in us
+ dropping an interface unnecessarily.
-556. [contrib] updated contrib/arlib, contrib/dnsparse (really!).
+ --- 8.1-T3B released ---
-555. [bug] quoted newlines were still broken even after #509.
+ 95. [bug] named-bootconf.pl didn't process xfrnets correctly
+ (if no netmask was specifed, it assumed a mask of
+ 255.255.255.255 instead of the natural netmask for
+ the class of the address).
-554. [bug] dangling CNAME cache chains could make named dump core.
+ 94. [bug] named-bootconf.pl didn't handle lines ending in a
+ comment.
-553. [bug] forwarders didn't work well with VALIDATE.
+ 93. [bug] if rename() failed in merge_logs(), we would return
+ garbage instead of -1.
- --- 4.9.3-beta32 released ---
+ 92. [bug] writemsg() in named-xfer.c was returning a random
+ value instead of the number of bytes written.
-552. [doc] ./Makefile had some out of date comments.
+ 91. [bug] schedretry() could set retry times in the past
+ because it was relying on 'tt' which hadn't been
+ updated. It now calls gettime(&tt).
-551. [bug] shres/sunos/* needed some fine tuning.
+ 90. [bug] 'tt' might not have been current when clean_cache()
+ was called.
-550. [contrib] contrib/dnsparse replaced with a later version.

+ new logging system from the parser and ns_config.c.
-549. [bug] "make links" hadn't been tested in a while; shres/* req'd chg.
+ 87. [bug] when writing to a TCP socket, the server didn't
+ handle errors from the write() correctly. Under the
+ right circumstances, this will cause the server to
+ spin. The most common trigger would be a large
+ outbound zone transfer where the far end died.
-548. [bug] shres/sunos/* needed some fixups due to a late Sun patch.
+ 86. [cleanup] fixed comment in dig.c that messed up font-lock mode

+ 81. [port] added port for A/UX 3.1.1.
-543. [bug] query restart bug in ns_resp.c.
+ 80. [port] added port for SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2.
- --- 4.9.3-beta29 released ---
+ 79. [bug] when processsing slave zones during a config file
+ reload, in the "backup file changed" (or missing)

+ loaded the zone.
-542. [port] rearranged signal() calls to make POSIX + SYSV possible.
+ 78. [cleanup] moved writemsg() to named-xfer.c.

+ 77. [cleanup] removed doupdate() from ns_resp.c.
-540. [port] added experimental shres/netbsd/ directory.
+ 76. [bug] writev() in lib/bsd would keep going if there was

-539. [bug] we weren't able to load 0 ttl's in zone files.
+ 75. [func] added readv() to lib/bsd.
-538. [doc] BOG corrections.

+ 4.5 grp.h.
-537. [contrib] new contrib/lamers/ directory.

+ 71. [port] added utimes() to lib/bsd.
-535. [bug] previous patch to db_load() was misapplied.
+ 70. [doc] README broken up into INSTALL, TODO, port/README.
+ Added more info about many topics.
-534. [bug] several ancient cache corruption bugs fixed in ns_resp().
+ 69. [bug] NOTIFY didn't handle an unknown NS target. E.g.
+ if we had "test.domain NS unknown.name" and
+ "unknown.name" was not known, NOTIFY wasn't doing an
+ "A" query for "unknown.name".
-533. [root] root servers required a new ``no-fetch-glue'' option.
+ 68. [lint] tweaks to ERR() and OK() in eventlib_p.h.
-532. [bug] all kinds of stuff was broken under shres/ due to new subdir.

-530. [bug] new root.cache file imported from internic.
+ 64. [func] lib/isc/heap.c now includes port_before.h and

-529. [bug] another set of bug fixes to the zone transfer scheduler.
+ 63. [bug] STRIP and PS were missing from MARGS in bin/Makefile.
-528. [bug] VALIDATE reenabled but without packet editing.

+ 59. [bug] The IRS library also wanted an ANSI C realloc().
+ port/sunos now provides __ansi_realloc().
-523. [bug] wildcard RR's were being deleted by purge_zone().
+ 58. [bug] SunOS didn't like heap.c doing realloc() on a NULL
+ pointer (in ANSI C that is equivalent to malloc()),
+ so we malloc() instead.
-522. [bug] "ndc start" didn't work if no pid file existed.
+ 57. [bug] interface discovery complained about bogus

+ functions from 8.1 were just renamed/removed.
-520. [bug] we weren't using "forwarders" if "options forward_only"
- wasn't set (in some cases.)
+ 55. [bug] findzone in ns_update wasn't ignoring z_nil zones.
-519. [bug] named-xfer wasn't called res_init().
+ 54. [bug] if the named-xfer exec() failed, a misleading message
+ was printed.
-518. [bug] lots of byte order nits.
+ 53. [bug] interface discovery didn't work on NetBSD because
+ HAVE_SA_LEN wasn't defined in port_after.h.

+ 52. [func] log the host we got a NOTIFY message from
-516. [proto] minimum TTL changes from five minutes to zero seconds.

-515. [bug] SOA TTL of zero is no longer considered an error.
+ 50. [bug] req_notify() wasn't calling sched_zone_maint() after
+ it called qserial_query().

-510. [doc] BOG typos. new doc/misc/FAQ. new site in MIRRORS.
+ 44. [func] merge_logs() didn't work because a 'break' wasn't

-507. [bug] DiG didn't do ndots and was trigger happy about options.
+ 41. [bug] reset_retrytimer() could clear a timer that had
+ already been cleared.
-506. [port] NextStep, Interactive, SCO, Digital UNIX, ULTRIX improvements.
+ 40. [bug] some zone data structures weren't freed if the zone

+ 37. [func] created the "load" logging category.
-502. [bug] nslookup wasn't behaving properly in the presence of "ndots".
+ 36. [func] find_zone now uses a hash table instead of a linear
+ search.
-501. [bug] we now delay 5 seconds after an "ndc restart" or "ndc start".
+ 35. [bug] we weren't scheduling a retry for dumps or soa serial
+ increments that failed.
-500. [bug] change #494 was incomplete.
+ 34. [func] instead of doing all NOTIFY messages five seconds after
+ loading completes, we now spread them out over up
+ to fifteen minutes (the maximum delay depends on how
+ many zones there are).
- --- 4.9.3-beta26 released ---
+ 33. [func] if there are too many qserials running, we'll try

- or 127.0.0.1.
+ 17. [bug] on at least one OS, ctime() can return NULL and
+ this can cause problems. We now call checked_ctime()
+ in ns_glue.c, which returns "<unknown time>\n" if
+ ctime() fails.
-484. [port] more POSIX_SIGNALS conversions.
+ 16. [bug] some signal handlers were calling library routines
+ which POSIX does not designate as safe for use by

-
-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

-
- --- 4.9.3-beta10 released ---
-
-233. Added and reordered a lot of code in ns_resp() to cause it to be

-
-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)

- 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)

- PostScript(tm) file. (Davis)
-
-217. syslog() cleanups in named-xfer.c. (Vixie, Barrett)
-
-216. shres/Makefile now forces -O. (Braniss, Ray)
-

-
-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().

- 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().

-
-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.
-

-
-186. Minor portability fixes for DEC OSF/1, HP-UX.

- fix the trouble folks were having with strerror() on SunOS 4.X systems.
-
-160. minor Makefile changes.
-
-159. processes which send outbound zone transfers now close all inherited

- --- 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.
-

- 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.

-
-109. various lint cleaned up wrt 16-bit integer handling.
-
-108. named-xfer was exiting bogusly on some systems due to flakey kernel

-
-107. Apollo systems were dumping core because of a missing #include <resolv.h>.

-
- --- 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.
