+  <title>Frequently Asked Questions about BIND 9</title>
+  <qandaset defaultlabel='qanda'>
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Why doesn't -u work on Linux 2.2.x when I build with
+	  --enable-threads?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  Linux threads do not fully implement the Posix threads
+	  (pthreads) standard.  In particular, setuid() operates only
+	  on the current thread, not the full process.  Because of
+	  this limitation, BIND 9 cannot use setuid() on Linux as it
+	  can on all other supported platforms.  setuid() cannot be
+	  called before creating threads, since the server does not
+	  start listening on reserved ports until after threads have
+	  started.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  In the 2.2.18 or 2.3.99-pre3 and newer kernels, the ability
+	  to preserve capabilities across a setuid() call is present.
+	  This allows BIND 9 to call setuid() early, while retaining
+	  the ability to bind reserved ports.  This is a Linux-specific
+	  hack.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  On a 2.2 kernel, BIND 9 does drop many root privileges, so
+	  it should be less of a security risk than a root process
+	  that has not dropped privileges.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  If Linux threads ever work correctly, this restriction will
+	  go away.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  Configuring BIND9 with the --disable-threads option (the
+	  default) causes a non-threaded version to be built, which
+	  will allow -u to be used.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Why does named log the warning message <quote>no TTL specified -
+	  using SOA MINTTL instead</quote>?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  Your zone file is illegal according to RFC1035.  It must either
+	  have a line like:
+	</para>
+	<informalexample>
+	  <programlisting>
+$TTL 86400</programlisting>
+	</informalexample>
+	<para>
+	  at the beginning, or the first record in it must have a TTL field,
+	  like the "84600" in this example:
+	</para>
+	<informalexample>
+	  <programlisting>
+example.com. 86400 IN SOA ns hostmaster ( 1 3600 1800 1814400 3600 )</programlisting>
+	</informalexample>

+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Why do I see 5 (or more) copies of named on Linux?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  Linux threads each show up as a process under ps.  The
+	  approximate number of threads running is n+4, where n is
+	  the number of CPUs.  Note that the amount of memory used
+	  is not cumulative; if each process is using 10M of memory,
+	  only a total of 10M is used.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Why does BIND 9 log <quote>permission denied</quote> errors accessing
+	  its configuration files or zones on my Linux system even
+	  though it is running as root?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  On Linux, BIND 9 drops most of its root privileges on
+	  startup.  This including the privilege to open files owned
+	  by other users.  Therefore, if the server is running as
+	  root, the configuration files and zone files should also
+	  be owned by root.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Why do I get errors like <quote>dns_zone_load: zone foo/IN: loading
+	  master file bar: ran out of space</quote>?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	This is often caused by TXT records with missing close
+	quotes.  Check that all TXT records containing quoted strings
+	have both open and close quotes.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	How do I produce a usable core file from a multithreaded
+	named on Linux?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	If the Linux kernel is 2.4.7 or newer, multithreaded core
+	dumps are usable (that is, the correct thread is dumped).
+	Otherwise, if using a 2.2 kernel, apply the kernel patch
+	found in contrib/linux/coredump-patch and rebuild the kernel.
+	This patch will cause multithreaded programs to dump the
+	correct thread.
+	</para>
+      </answer>

+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  How do I restrict people from looking up the server version?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  Put a "version" option containing something other than the
+	  real version in the "options" section of named.conf.  Note
+	  doing this will not prevent attacks and may impede people
+	  trying to diagnose problems with your server.  Also it is
+	  possible to "fingerprint" nameservers to determine their
+	  version.
+	</para>
+      </answer>

+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  How do I restrict only remote users from looking up the
+	  server version?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  The following view statement will intercept lookups as the
+	  internal view that holds the version information will be
+	  matched last.  The caveats of the previous answer still
+	  apply, of course.
+	</para>
+	<informalexample>
+	  <programlisting>
+view "chaos" chaos {
+	match-clients { &lt;those to be refused&gt;; };
+	allow-query { none; };
+	zone "." {
+		type hint;
+		file "/dev/null";  // or any empty file
+	};

+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  What do <quote>no source of entropy found</quote> or <quote>could not
+	  open entropy source foo</quote> mean?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  The server requires a source of entropy to perform certain
+	  operations, mostly DNSSEC related.  These messages indicate
+	  that you have no source of entropy.  On systems with
+	  /dev/random or an equivalent, it is used by default.  A
+	  source of entropy can also be defined using the random-device
+	  option in named.conf.
+	</para>

+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  I installed BIND 9 and restarted named, but it's still BIND 8.  Why?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  BIND 9 is installed under /usr/local by default.  BIND 8
+	  is often installed under /usr.  Check that the correct named
+	  is running.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  I'm trying to use TSIG to authenticate dynamic updates or
+	  zone transfers.  I'm sure I have the keys set up correctly,
+	  but the server is rejecting the TSIG.  Why?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  This may be a clock skew problem.  Check that the the clocks
+	  on the client and server are properly synchronised (e.g.,
+	  using ntp).
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  I'm trying to compile BIND 9, and "make" is failing due to
+	  files not being found.  Why?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  Using a parallel or distributed "make" to build BIND 9 is
+	  not supported, and doesn't work.  If you are using one of
+	  these, use normal make or gmake instead.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  I have a BIND 9 master and a BIND 8.2.3 slave, and the
+	  master is logging error messages like <quote>notify to 10.0.0.1#53
+	  failed: unexpected end of input</quote>.  What's wrong?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  This error message is caused by a known bug in BIND 8.2.3
+	  and is fixed in BIND 8.2.4.  It can be safely ignored - the
+	  notify has been acted on by the slave despite the error
+	  message.
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  I keep getting log messages like the following.  Why?
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  Dec  4 23:47:59 client 10.0.0.1#1355: updating zone
+	  'example.com/IN': update failed: 'RRset exists (value
+	  dependent)' prerequisite not satisfied (NXRRSET)
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  DNS updates allow the update request to test to see if
+	  certain conditions are met prior to proceeding with the
+	  update.  The message above is saying that conditions were
+	  not met and the update is not proceeding.  See doc/rfc/rfc2136.txt
+	  for more details on prerequisites.

+	<para>
+	  Jun 21 12:00:00.000 client 10.0.0.1#1234: update denied
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  Someone is trying to update your DNS data using the RFC2136
+	  Dynamic Update protocol.  Windows 2000 machines have a habit
+	  of sending dynamic update requests to DNS servers without
+	  being specifically configured to do so.  If the update
+	  requests are coming from a Windows 2000 machine, see
+	  <ulink
+	   url="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q246/8/04.asp">
+	    http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q246/8/04.asp
+	  </ulink>
+	  for information about how to turn them off.
+	</para>
+      </answer>

+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  I see a log message like the following.  Why?
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  couldn't open pid file '/var/run/named.pid': Permission denied
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  You are most likely running named as a non-root user, and
+	  that user does not have permission to write in /var/run.
+	  The common ways of fixing this are to create a /var/run/named
+	  directory owned by the named user and set pid-file to
+	  "/var/run/named/named.pid", or set pid-file to "named.pid",
+	  which will put the file in the directory specified by the
+	  directory option (which, in this case, must be writable by
+	  the named user).
+	</para>
+      </answer>
+    </qandaentry>
+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  When I do a "dig . ns", many of the A records for the root
+	  servers are missing.  Why?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  This is normal and harmless.  It is a somewhat confusing
+	  side effect of the way BIND 9 does RFC2181 trust ranking
+	  and of the efforts BIND 9 makes to avoid promoting glue
+	  into answers.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	 When BIND 9 first starts up and primes its cache, it receives
+	 the root server addresses as additional data in an authoritative
+	 response from a root server, and these records are eligible
+	 for inclusion as additional data in responses.  Subsequently
+	 it receives a subset of the root server addresses as
+	 additional data in a non-authoritative (referral) response
+	 from a root server.  This causes the addresses to now be
+	 considered non-authoritative (glue) data, which is not
+	 eligible for inclusion in responses.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	 The server does have a complete set of root server addresses
+	 cached at all times, it just may not include all of them
+	 as additional data, depending on whether they were last
+	 received as answers or as glue.  You can always look up the
+	 addresses with explicit queries like "dig a.root-servers.net A".
+	</para>

+
+    <qandaentry>
+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Zone transfers from my BIND 9 master to my Windows 2000
+	  slave fail.  Why?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  This may be caused by a bug in the Windows 2000 DNS server
+	  where DNS messages larger than 16K are not handled properly.
+	  This can be worked around by setting the option "transfer-format
+	  one-answer;".  Also check whether your zone contains domain
+	  names with embedded spaces or other special characters,
+	  like "John\032Doe\213s\032Computer", since such names have
+	  been known to cause Windows 2000 slaves to incorrectly
+	  reject the zone.

+      <question>
+	<para>
+	  Why don't my zones reload when I do an "rndc reload" or SIGHUP?
+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  A zone can be updated either by editing zone files and
+	  reloading the server or by dynamic update, but not both.
+	  If you have enabled dynamic update for a zone using the
+	  "allow-update" option, you are not supposed to edit the
+	  zone file by hand, and the server will not attempt to reload
+	  it.

+	</para>
+      </question>
+      <answer>
+	<para>
+	  You will need to give the master and slave multiple IP

+	<para>
+	  This is usually a configuration error.

+	<para>
+	  First ensure that named is running and no errors are being

+	  Running "named -g &lt;usual arguments&gt;" from a title
+	  can help at this point.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  Secondly ensure that named is configured to use rndc either
+	  by "rndc-confgen -a", rndc-confgen or manually.  The
+	  Administrators Reference manual has details on how to do
+	  this.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  Old versions of rndc-confgen used localhost rather than
+	  127.0.0.1 in /etc/rndc.conf for the default server.  Update
+	  /etc/rndc.conf if necessary so that the default server
+	  listed in /etc/rndc.conf matches the addresses used in
+	  named.conf.  "localhost" has two address (127.0.0.1 and
+	  ::1).
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  If you use "rndc-confgen -a" and named is running with -t or -u
+	  ensure that /etc/rndc.conf has the correct ownership and that
+	  a copy is in the chroot area.  You can do this by re-running
