Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

As the Ubuntu project has customized djbdns and its related / required packages, there needs to be documentation in the Ubuntu Server Guide detailing how to correctly set up and configure djbdns.

Guides found on the Internet that pre-date djbdns being officially packaged are confusing as the paths changed, userid's are created automatically, etc...

It is equally unacceptable to refer to the http://cr.yp.to/ web site as there again Ubuntu changed various things in Ubuntu's packages.

I can understand and appreciate why Ubuntu made these changes, however set up documentation which is Ubuntu specific is needed.

I am just starting my third attempt to install / configure to suit our needs. Have had to purge all djbdns related packages twice now, try to get all of the configuration settings out of the first server. This is far more complicated than it needs to be... the process of making use of the official djbdns package.

'twas so long ago I forgot I opened this bug report!

I ended up writing my own docs here:

"HOW-TO: Basic installation of Daniel J. Bernstein's djbdns (TinyDNS) on Ubuntu Linux"

Feel free to harvest IP to go into the serverguide.
