Hi to all.
Sorry for my bad english.
For pure self-educational, not professional, purposes, I am studying how to configure a server with several services operating on it.
For my experiment I'm using VirtualBox 3.1.4 on a WinXP host with 3 FreeBSD guests; one acts as a DHCP + DNS server; the others as clients on two different subnets.
The problems relate to the cooperation between DNS and DHCP; in a first stage I configured the DNS (single master) with success.
Digging into the great FreeBSD documentation (books, HOWTOs on the net, forums) I put together the file server configuration filea reproduced below.
The problem is that the client, configured as a DHCP client, receives the address assigned by DHCP server; the client can be reached with IP; it pings the other client and the server using their names, but it is not recognized by name by the other virtual PCs.
At startup, named warns that the "working directory is not writable";
when the client seeks and gets its address, the DNS + DHCP server console warns it can not create the file /etc/db.marbosoft.org.jnl, "Permission denied".
Named runs under the bind user-id; the name working directory is owned by root / wheel with write right only for the owner.
Changing owner permissions does not work, because they are restored on restart.
Where am I wrong?
Thank you.
Marco

I asked a similar type question in the solaris forum but i think this relates closer to networking. I am trying to setup a small NIS environment that is contained within a large company network. The client machines are getting an IP from the companys' Windows DHCP server. The NIS server has a... (3 Replies)
Hi all,

I think that I'm missing something in the configuration of DHCP. I was told that when a DHCPD... (3 Replies)
I have managed to setup my Solaris box to receive an IP number from a DHCP server. In addition, I can ping and telnet between my dhcp server and my solaris box using the IP number. However, I can't resolve addresses by name from my solaris box.
In my nsswitch.conf file I have:
