- $Id: CHANGES,v 8.1 1996/10/25 04:57:15 vixie Exp $
- Version 1.8.3
- Miscellaneous fixes, getautservers(). Condensed code.
-
- Hack added to ignore RFC 1101 netmasks encoding.
-
- Assigning $1 wasn't working, use local variable. Patch from Mark
- Andrews <Mark.Andrews@dms.csiro.au>.
-
- New Perl script "makereports" included to take output and generate
- reports for each hostmaster for the problems within his/her zone.
-
- Version 1.8.2
- Fixed spelling errors and shoddy syntax in getauthservers(), from
- Jost Krieger <Jost.Krieger@rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
-
- Accounted for Solaris's broken gethostbyname() which includes trailing
- dots in retuned name.
-
- Minor fixes in lame delegation checking, and getauthservers().
-
- Version 1.8.1
- One-line fix to remove reference to non-existent parameter to getmaster().
- Reported by petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de (Stefan Petri).
-
- Version 1.8
- Typos, documentation corrections, additions to TIPS as well as
- stuff for TODO from Piete Brooks <Piete.Brooks@cl.cam.ac.uk>.
-
- Patch from Thorsten Lockert <tholo@sigmasoft.com>: remove directory
- if zone transfer fails.
-
- Fixed getauthservers() routine. Sometimes had list of servers
- which contained each server listed twice. Also fixed it to
- use the 'master server' field of the SOA record as a 'hint'
- to which server to check first.
-
- Fixed typo in dot-death checking. Error message forgot \n.
-
- Added -D flag to set base directory for saved axfr files.
-
- Version 1.7
- Added "_" to list of invalid characters in a hostname. (Painful
- because we have hundreds of PCs and Macs here with one.) Can
- now be supressed with '-i' option (whew).
-
- Fixed wildcard RR's being marked as having invalid characters.
- (Thanks to Paul Turner <turner@telstar.kodak.com> for reporting it)
-
- Changed how the return codes for gethostby*() routines were being
- checked. Added caveat in README about herror(). Thanks to Bill Fenner
-
- Suppresses duplicate error message per zone. Idea from Paul Turner.
-
- Checks for dom.ain.dom.ain. in data, in case someone forgot the
- trailing '.'.
-
- Finally added a man page. Trimmed out redundant information
- from the README file.
-
- Version 1.6
- removed -c switch, since I thought it would work a long time ago, but
- later found out it could never be made to work. Well, it could, just
- not very nicely. (nor efficiently)
-
- Fixed bug with parsing of dig output. Newer dig has slightly different
- output, causing serial numbers to not be pulled out.
-
- Changed the do-dnswalk script to use exec > logfile instead of
- redirecting every invocation to a logfile. Idea from Dan Ehrlich.
-
- Fixed problem with dnswalk using old list of subdomains in axfr file,
- ignoring the new zone transfer if it was needed.
-
- Accounted for annoying behavior of new dig to print duplicate SOA's.
-
- Documented nameserver error reporting.
-
- Version 1.5
-
- added -F switch. This performs "fascist" checking. For every A record,
- it checks to see that it actually points to the canonical name listed
- for the PTR and reports mismatches. Try this switch at least once to see
- what kind of things pop up. (You may be surprised)
-
- added -m switch. Performs check on zone only if it has been modified
- (serial number changed) since the previous run.
-
- changed format of messages to be shorter and more precise. (and hopefully
- easier to read) Read the README section for a full description.
-
- warns if a zone has only one authoratative nameserver
- *** in later versions of 1.3, not posted here, but available for ftp,
- there was a bad bug which caused erroneous warnings about having only
- one nameserver. (was using the wrong variable)
-
- reports any errors listed in dig zone transfer output. (usually
- caused by a corrupted zone file, or invalid syntax in data; for example
- only one field in an HINFO record.)
-
- now reports any resolver errors from gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
- (for example, a server timeout, connection refused, etc)
-
- sorts output by zone (correctly -- some versions of 1.3 didn't quite do
- this right)
-
- displays server of authority and zone contact for each zone it checks.
-
- I've now included a 'do-dnswalk' script that is an example wrapper
- that I use around dnswalk to turn on status debugging and put the
- results in a log file. Salt to taste.
