POSetting up Bind9 Nameserver. Editing /etc/init.d/sysklogd help?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm following along with <a href="http://linux.justinhartman.com/DNS_Installation_and_Setup_using_BIND9" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a> and I've successfully gotten as far as a part which tells me to edit the "sysklogd" file in /etc/init.d/</p> <p>The tutorial tells me that in order to allow logging of bind activity, I need to replace the line</p> <p><code>SYSLOGD=""</code></p> <p>with</p> <pre><code>SYSLOGD="-a /var/lib/named/dev/log" </code></pre> <p>The trouble is that I can't find the first line.</p> <p>Has the sysklogd file changed since the time this tutorial was written? Should I just inset the line myself?</p> <p>Here is the contents of sysklogd below. I'm sorry it looks horrendous, I tried to format it better but it's doesn't seem to be happening for me. Just hoping it might jog someones memory.</p> <pre><code>#! /bin/sh # /etc/init.d/sysklogd: start the system log daemon. ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: sysklogd # Required-Start: $remote_fs $time # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $time # Should-Start: $network # Should-Stop: $network # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: System logger ### END INIT INFO PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin pidfile=/var/run/syslogd.pid binpath=/sbin/syslogd test -x $binpath || exit 0 test ! -r /etc/default/syslogd || . /etc/default/syslogd . /lib/lsb/init-functions create_xconsole() { # Only proceed if /dev/xconsole is used at all if ! grep -q '^[^#].*/dev/xconsole' /etc/syslog.conf then return fi if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]; then mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p else chmod 0640 /dev/xconsole fi chown root:adm /dev/xconsole test ! -x /sbin/restorecon || /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole } running() { # No pidfile, probably no daemon present # if [ ! -f $pidfile ] then return 1 fi pid=`cat $pidfile` # No pid, probably no daemon present # if [ -z "$pid" ] then return 1 fi if [ ! -d /proc/$pid ] then return 1 fi cmd=`cat /proc/$pid/cmdline | tr "\000" "\n"|head -n 1` # No syslogd? # if [ "$cmd" != "$binpath" ] then return 1 fi return 0 } case "$1" in start) log_begin_msg "Starting system log daemon..." create_xconsole start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $pidfile --name syslogd --startas $binpath -- $SYSLOGD log_end_msg $? test -d /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d || mkdir -p /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d test ! -f /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/sysklogd || rm -f /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/sysklogd ln -s $pidfile /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/sysklogd ;; stop) log_begin_msg "Stopping system log daemon..." start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $pidfile --name syslogd log_end_msg $? ;; reload|force-reload) log_begin_msg "Reloading system log daemon..." start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 1 --pidfile $pidfile --name syslogd log_end_msg $? ;; restart) log_begin_msg "Restarting system log daemon..." start-stop-daemon --stop --retry 5 --quiet --pidfile $pidfile --name syslogd start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $pidfile --name syslogd --startas $binpath -- $SYSLOGD log_end_msg $? ;; reload-or-restart) if running then $0 reload else $0 start fi ;; *) log_success_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/sysklogd {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload|reload-or-restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0 </code></pre>
