Hey Guys, first post here but I've solved many of life's problems here so I'm hopeful there's a wise one out there that's seen this.
I have installed Bind 9 on a new Fedora machine:
Code:
[root@***]# rpm -q bind
bind-9.7.2-1.P3.fc13.i686
It was yum installed and all went well without error but I'm not able to access bind on port 53. Selinux is disabled for this test, and the iptables have been saved to the below config in the INPUT chain:
Code:
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain state NEW
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-net-unreachable
I have just added other items in the iptables and gained/blocked access with those rules effectively, so I know iptables is operational. Just for grins I turned off the iptables service and no difference either.
I have used a port scanner by Solarwinds on a PC outside this servers network and on port 53 it shows no reply. Get this, when I disabled iptables service and scanned it showed "Blocked". I turned on iptables and "No Reply" again.
My nmap shows this:
Code:
[root@***]# nmap -sU localhost
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-12-13 03:28 MST
Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up (0.000013s latency).
rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: ***********.com

PORT STATE SERVICE
53/udp open domain
111/udp open rpcbind
123/udp open ntp
631/udp open|filtered ipp

I'm not sure what else to look at. Any ideas?
