I'm unlikely to integrate the WS changes, but adding a dedicated user for bind9 is a good idea.

Are you running with this config? I would think some of the files/paths would need to be owned by the new user/group in order for this to actually work.

  • what do you mean by WS changes?
  • I have some bind9 warnings about permissions: /opt/local/var/run/named.pid /opt/local/var/run/named/session.key. it does not seem possible to specify a pid path at run to use a named-owned dir, need to review that, maybe at configure
  • it runs on a desktop client. it was mostly for my cif setup (#43011) but other things are blocking my test currently

  • WS = whitespace
  • we probably need to put the pid into something like $prefix/var/run/named/named.pid where $prefix/var/run/named is owned by the new named user. I imagine $prefix/var/named needs to be installed owned by named as well (especially for anyone doing auto-dnssec). We could probably put the pid in $prefix/var/named otherwise too...
  • for a local caching resolver, I would honestly probably recommend that people run unbound instead of bind9

comment:9 Changed 11 years ago by jul_bsd@…

  • tab to whitespace seems the "norm" defined by 'port lint --nitpick' after, I don't mind other. depends on macport policy
  • yeah, I agree about pid, just need to check where we defined the path. doesn't seem to be at run (nothing in man), so maybe in config file (pid-file, it seems)
  • unbound is lighter and probably more secure for a default local resolver after, it depends on the requirements of other software... as for cif, it seems mostly for cache+forwarder, so probably possible with unbound

r119626

  • use add_users to add new user/group
  • use new user as owner of some installed files
  • include the extra notes text you recommended

r119628

  • move pidfile to where I meant to move it
  • add livecheck
  • actually tell startupitem.executable to use the new named user
