I CVSup'd 3.4-STABLE yesterday afternoon and rebuilt and installed world and kernel, upgrading from 3.3-STABLE. I ran Mergemaster then rebooted and most everything is happy except for a maddening problem that broke sendmail and seems to be related to the new bind. What I get is a complaint from sendmail each time it tries to resolve a connection from local hosts: the syslog shows: Dec 24 16:21:30 Canopus sendmail[2659]: gethostby*.gethostanswer: asked for :13.224.148.205.in-addr-arpa", got "13.224.148.205.in-addr.arpa" sendmail's log shows: Dec 24 16:21:30 Canopus sendmail[2659]: gethostbyaddr(205.148.224.13) failed: 1 The only other change I can see is the response nslookup gives when you query a local reverse. The previous version would just return the proper reverse lookup, while it now gives: # nslookup 205.148.224.13 Server: localhost.orionsys.com Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: canopus.orionsys.com Address: 205.148.224.13 Aliases: 13.224.148.205.in-addr.arpa <<<<<<<<< The old release did NOT return an "aliases" line... the additional return seems to be what is confusing sendmail. There was mention on another list of a "rrset_other fixed;" parameter somewhere, but a search of the bind sources doesn't seem to mention anything like that and it produces an error in named.conf if I include it. The misbehaving box's DNS is a slave and the reverse file has not changed. The sendmail.cf file has not been altered and the previous sendmail release was also 8.9.3. When I ran Mergemaster, I merged the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file, adding unmodified all of the new lines while keeping all the modified lines, and didn't touch the real /etc/rc.conf file. I've tried removing the reverse zone from the box to no effect. The only arguments to named are '-u bind -g bind', which I was using before. I've been thru the FreeBSD mail archives and haven't found anything like this. Any ideas what the heck I'm missed? TIA... and a Merry Christmas! -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
