My installation is logging in /home/named/var/log/dns_logs. Version 9.2.2, did this break with 9.2.3?

According to the Bind 9 Admininistrator's Reference Manual at http://www.bind9.net/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#AEN1607 , the default for logging is this:

logging {

category default { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category unmatched { null; };

};

channel default_syslog {

syslog daemon; send to syslog's daemon

facility

severity info; only send priority info

and higher

};

channel default_debug {

file "named.run"; write to named.run in

the working directory Note: stderr is used instead of "named.run" if the server is started with the '-f' option.

severity dynamic; log at the server's

current debug level

};

channel default_stderr {

stderr; writes to stderr severity info; only send priority info

and higher

};

channel null {

null; toss anything sent to

this channel

};

A quick grep of /var/log/syslog.log for "named" shows only a few entries here. and no named.run in /home/named, of course I've not hit it hard either yet. Just droping this here for when it goes to be added to the config.

Upon further review, this bug appears to be invalid. The default options work as expected and drop into /var/log/daemon.log as my previous comment suggested, even though the default configuration I had posted eariler forgot the logging line :-). It might not be a bad idea to drop the default into the named.conf in the book so that people know where to find this.

Here is the missing line:


logging {

category default { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category unmatched { null; };

};

Ugh...it was there, just in the wrong place. Corrected addition to named.conf.

logging {

category default { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category unmatched { null; };

channel default_syslog {

syslog daemon; send to syslog's daemon

facility

severity info; only send priority info

and higher

};

channel default_debug {

file "named.run"; write to named.run in

the working directory Note: stderr is used instead of "named.run" if the server is started with the '-f' option.

severity dynamic; log at the server's

current debug level

};

channel default_stderr {

stderr; writes to stderr severity info; only send priority info

and higher

};

channel null {

null; toss anything sent to

this channel

};

};

Closing bug now as it'll be fixed momentarily.
