Hi,
I have a AlphaServer 1000A running DU 4.0B (with patch kit 6).
1) The BIND software currently on the system is the software that comes
with DU. I have downloaded and installed BIND 8.1.2 into /usr/local/bind.
I have run the named-bootconf.pl script to convert named.boot to
named.conf. Do I now simply stop the old named and run the new one? Do
any other files need to be converted? Does the new named need any options
at start? Can you provide a sample start/stop script for BIND 8.1.2 for
/sbin/init.d?
2) I am also considering upgrading to the lastest sendmail (8.9.0). I do
not run sendmail in daemon mode on this system (no smtp connections). But
users of the system can use sendmail to send mail out. How important
(security wise) is it to upgrade sendmail if it is not being run in daemon
mode?
