Subject: Re: [DNG] Upgrade problem [ ascii -> beowulf ] chrooted bind9 server -- /usr/share/dns/root.hints issue -- with fix
Hi,

Okay, not fully fixed after reboot... apparmor gave problems as previously discussed on the list.

Also needed to adjust:

/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.named


Added a line:

/var/lib/named/** rw,


Then restarted apparmor service:

service apparmor reload


And then bind would start properly, immediately and again after another reboot.


Should it be all good now?


Thanks
A.
