RHBA-2011:1505 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated system-config-bind package that fixes various bugs is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The system-config-bind package provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to
configure the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) Domain Name System (DNS)
server.

This updated system-config-bind package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• Prior to this update the system-config-bind utility no longer parsed include

statements within a view clause. Consequently zones in a config file referenced
by an include statement within a view clause were not shown. With this update
include statements are correctly parsed and zones referenced in this way are
once again shown. (BZ#511864)

• When configuring a name server (NS) record for a domain, if an invalid name

was given in the Server Domain Name field a modal dialog box would display, "Bad
DNS Name:", and clicking "OK" did not allow a valid name to be entered.
Consequently it was not possible to correct the mistake. With this update the
dialog box now correctly responds to clicking "OK" and a correct Server Domain
Name can be entered. (BZ#462846)

All users of system-config-bind are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
