Upgrade procedure for Bind 9.5.1b1 Sean Boran/29.9.08
----------------------------------
Prerequisites:
This new version of bind needs a new grep and a /dev/poll.
wget ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/8/grep-2.5.1a-sol8-sparc-local.gz
gunzip grep-2.5.1a-sol8-sparc-local.gz
pkgadd -d grep-2.5.1a-sol8-sparc-local
cd /opt/install
wget ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.5.1b1/bind-9.5.1b1.tar.gz
cd bind-9.5.1b1
export GREP=/usr/local/bin/grep
./configure
rm -f /tmp/usr/local
umask 027
/usr/local/bin/make install DESTDIR=/tmp
cd /tmp/usr/local
strip bin/* sbin/* lib/*
\rm -rf include
tar cf - * | compress > bind-9.5.1b1_dist.tar.Z
cd /dns/usr/local
cp /tmp/usr/local/bind-9.5.1b1_dist.tar.Z .
tar cvf - bin lib man sbin | gzip > pre-9.5.1b1_dist.tgz
## Create /dev/poll
cd /dns/dev
mknod poll c 138 0
chgrp sys random
chmod 644 random
## now we stop the old one, and upgrade
/etc/init.d/dns stop
cd /dns/usr/local
zcat bind-9.5.1b1_dist.tar.Z| tar xvf -
chgrp -R named *
## start the new one, test
/etc/init.d/dns start
## Monitoring that all is OK
Watch syslog...
tail -500 /var/adm/messages | grep named | grep error
log| grep named
Test remote queries locally & remotely with host or nslookup
