resolvconf uses wrong path for bind9 and resolvconf

[Jérôme Drouet]

Binary package hint: apparmor

Hi,

The profile defined for named by aparmor is not correct (apparmor2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu2 - ubuntu 10.10)

in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named we find :
  # support for resolvconf
  /var/run/named/named.options r,

but resolvconf generates this file as "/var/run/bind/named.options" and not "/var/run/named/named.options"

Other ACLs also refer to the directory "/var/run/named/" wich does not even exist in ubuntu 10.10 (the correct path is /var/run/bind/"

this is the same problem for "/var/log/named/" direcorty, because of naming conventions in ubuntu : you'de rather log into "/var/log/bind/" instead

A possible solution :
substitute "/var/run/named/" to "/var/run/bind/" and "/var/log/named/" to "/var/log/bind/" in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named

Another solution is tu use those "named" directories for logging/generating file with resolvconf

Cheers

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It appears as though the simplest solution is to edit etc/resolvconf/update.d/bind to change RUN_DIR to /var/run/named. /var/run/named is being used by bind9 in Ubuntu at the moment, and resolvconf simply needs to know about the right location.

Opened Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608933

This will be addressed in Debian resolvconf 1.48.

This is also fixed in Ubuntu. Resolvconf no longer generates /var/run/bind/named.options.
