Hi Glen, > What problems could occur if named continues running as root? Dunno if the bind exploit(s) can actually yield shell access (probably), but if that's the case it'll be a ROOTSHELL (!!!) in your case! Don't even consider running a daemon as root when it's not absolutely necessary. I'll refrain from using more exlamation marks. You've had your dose. ;-) Have a safe one... Nico
I tried the suggestions running BIND as user named, but on my RaQ3 there's no user named. Can I just "adduser named" and then run BIND under that user?
In other words: Whats the correct procedure to achieve this? TIA Marc Landtwing
