You can setup svscan to monitor services, and restart them automatically if they aren't running. However, if your bind is crashing, it's probably being remotely exploited, and you'll want to run a newer/stable/secure version. Also, while checking out daemontools, you may also consider switching to djbdns (also in /usr/ports), it's IMHO more secure, and hasn't been vulnerable to the latest string of bind exploits. Or even the older bind exploits for that matter. :-) Happy DNS'ing // Gary Here's some links you may want to check out: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
