- Paul,
- I've been using a suid root program for a long time to
- permit reloading of the nameserver by users other that root. We
- have some zones on the local nameserver that are administered by
- non locals and we needed to give them enough power to reload the
- nameserver securly.
-
- I've updated this program to have an equivelent syntax to ndc.
-
- If you only want root to be able to send control signals to the
- nameserver other that "reload" define ROOTONLY in conf/option.h.
-
- Only root is allowed to start/stop/restart the nameserver.
-
- All arguements after start/restart are passwd as command line
- args to named.
-
- B.T.W. ndc needs to be updated w.r.t USR1/EMT and USR2/FPE;
-
- Mark
