I've been getting core dumps in bind every other day for the past couple of weeks. I took it as no coincidence that the software which had never (not once) faulted in a year started going down very often just after the cert note came out. Unfortunately I've not yet had the time to upgrade the servers. What is the general impression of the upgrade process from those who've succesfully done so? Initially I saw a lot of posts about the new release being very syntax specific and a lot of problems resulting thereof. Anything to watch out for beyond using the proper syntax in your zone files? All my bind boxes are freebsd, of course. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Leif Neland > Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 7:02 PM > To: Len Conrad > Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: bind attacks, was: tinydns > > > > > On Wed, 28 Feb 2001, Len Conrad wrote: > > > > > >There you go.
