SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for yast2-dns-server
Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2015:1248-1
Rating: moderate
References: #746401 #898659 #899104
Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12

  • An update that has three recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:

    This update for yast2-dns-server provides the following fixes:

    Fix handling of zones (bsc#898659):

    - Extend list of zones marked as system (internal) with (0\.)+ip6.arpa
    - Do not allow to edit system zones (they belong to bind package)
    - Check if 'bind' package is installed before writing the configuration
    - Mark all imported zones as 'modified' to be written later
    - Mark all imported non-system zones as 'is_new' to create a zone file for
    them
    - Flush /etc/named.conf cache 'after' writing zones (instead of 'before')
    - Use "" as the default NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY (instead of 0)
    - Do not write system zones to LDAP (bnc#746401)
    - If systems zones are marked as modified, they are written to named
    configuration (if LDAP is not in use).

    Fix Import() and Write() in AutoYast (bnc#898659):

    - Imported zones were not written to the system as they were not marked as
    'modified'
    - Directory /etc/named.d/ was used even if it didn't exist
    - The whole named.conf was rewritten from scratch as Yast thought that
    something has changed that file while Yast was running.
