Earlier this year Don Lewis (I think) posted a patch to BIND 4.8.3 to lose incorrect glue records, and those records which persist long after their entries in the master files have been deleted. Does anyone still have it handy? I now find that I should have saved it as it went past... Thanks. PS. As someone remarked in this newsgroup recently: There have been rather a lot of patches to 4.8.3, is there a canonical set? In fact is there a new merged release due? -- Andrew.Macpherson@bnr.co.uk -- PSI%234237100122::Andrew.Macpherson "There is nothing quite so worthwhile as simply messing about in boats"

Very nice patch. I'm running it on 3 nameservers with 300+ zones. > Does anyone still have it handy? I now find that I should have saved it as > it went past... I just put a copy out on nic.near.net as /pub/bind.4.8.3.del.diff. The only change I would make is if you run with LAME_DELEGATION defined, then you may want to change the syslog call to LOG_INFO so that you can readily lose the messages via syslog. (it's LOG_NOTICE in the patch) > PS. As someone remarked in this newsgroup recently: There have been rather > a lot of patches to 4.8.3, is there a canonical set?

I have stored the patch from Don Lewis along with some other patches to 4.8.3 (some originating from the U of Michigan 4.8.1 version, eg. query logging). These patches/fixes may be fetched with anonymous ftp from ugle.unit.no in the pub/unix/network/bind-fixes/ directory along with the changes I had to make to be able to compile BIND 4.8.3 on SunOS. The files contain "diff -c2" output, readily perusable for "patch". The README file from that directory follows below. If you have additional fixes/patches I may put them in the same spot if you send them to me (but do not expect lightning fast response...) - Havard --------------- README from ugle.unit.no:/pub/unix/network/bind-fixes/ This directory contains fixes and local adaptions of BIND. These fixes so far only allow "clean" compilation in the res/ and named/ sub- directories of BIND. Current contents: dnsstats Script to make a summary of the logs produced by fix.7 fix.1 Omits (most) redundant glue records in zone transfers fix.2 Does away with some "Malformed response" errors fix.3 Fix to secondary name server to ignore non-authoritative glue fix.4 Close query listen sockets before starting zone transfer fix.5 Allow installer to choose logging facility in Makefile fix.6 Supply the missing newvers.sh shell script fix.7 Add possibility to log all queries with syslog fix.8 Fixes an error in fix.3 (only compare complete subdomains) port-sunos.1 Changes and additions done locally to "port" BIND to SunOS 4.x. (Includes use of GNU Malloc, perror.c from BSD, Makefile changes etc.) The version number is incremented each time some new additions are made to this file.
