BIND problem

AdnanShaheen · 08-10-2009, 03:34 AM

Hi every one
I am using CentOS 5 (release)
I have installed BIND using command
#yum -y install bind

I have copied all the necessary files (named.config) to /etc

I am not able to check the status of service

Code:

#service named status
rndc: no server specified and no default
named is stopped

I assume it is stopped as last line says.

Then I tried to start the named service

Code:

#service named start
Starting named: named: capset failed: Operation not permitted: please ensure that the capset kernel module is loaded. see insmod(8

)

I searched a lot over the internet but ending up no where.

I know about "The capability module, part of "Linux Security Modules/LSM", has not been
loaded into the kernel. See insmod(8)."
But how to do it?

The kernel module isn't actually named capset, it is called "capability".
You need to create a local.modules file (mode 755) in the /etc/sysconfig/modules/ directory and add it.

Thank you very much for your reply
This is how my /etc/sysconfig/modules directory looks

Code:

#cd /etc/sysconfig/modules
#ls -la
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 1024 Jul   1  2007 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 2048 Aug  10 19:26 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  100 Mar  14  2007 udev-stw.modules

I added a file local.modules with mode 755.

I added "capability" and reboot the system, then tried but same error
Then I write "modprobe capability" and reboot the system, but same error

Also to note, when I do
#modprobe capability
FATAL: Module capability not found.

Additionally I am not able to find any "capability.ko" file on my system
