[SOLVED] update-security error in /var/log/named.log

techmom50 · 09-09-2013, 05:50 PM

This is the error I am getting I understand it has to do with ddns but no matter what I try on my DHCPd.conf file for DDNS it will not work.

Code:

First and for most I would change your post and remove the actual key value from your post also the ddns-domainname might not be wise to be shown online. Take care to not give away to many infos. Also I doubt that this is really serious who really knows.

On to rescue now:

Code:

09-Sep-2013 12:39:38.758 update-security: info: client 192.168.1.50#60194/key rndc-key: signer "rndc-key" denied

Your key is not accepted by the DNS server. For ddns to work the key of the dhcp and the dns server have to match. Best bet would be to copy the values from the dns server configuration over to the dhcp configuration. Due to the dns server creating it first hand.

First thank you for the heads up I have edited what you suggested on my post. I have copied the contents from the rndc.key from my /etc/bind/rndc.key into the DHCP.CONF since this post I have done some tweeks on my files to rule out certain things. Seems as soon as I moved my rndc.key file into the /etc directory and change the paths in the NAMED.conf to reflect the change it is somewhat working. I now think this is a permissions issue as the new error message is

Code:

11-Sep-2013 08:43:08.011 general: error: /var/bind/pri/pacificcabinets.zone.jnl: create: permission denied
11-Sep-2013 08:43:08.011 update: info: client 192.168.1.50#51069/key rndc-key: updating zone 'pacificcabinets.com/IN': error: journal open failed: unexpecte$
11-Sep-2013 08:48:08.095 update-security: info: client 192.168.1.50#51069/key rndc-key: signer "rndc-key" approved

So now it seems my permissions need to be fixed on my /var/bind/pri directory so it can create the jnl file

Code:

tux pri # ls -ld /var/bind/pri
drwxr-x--- 3 root named 4096 Sep  4 23:03 /var/bind/pri
tux pri # ls -ld /var/bind/
drwxrwx--- 5 root named 4096 Sep 11 08:39 /var/bind/

techmom50 · 09-11-2013, 03:45 PM

I needed to set permission for the directory /var/bind/pri to rwx

There we go. DDNS has some tripwires layed out. Grant you got it solved. So please mark your thread as solved through the "Thread Tools" at the start of the page.
