Update bind9 to 9.0.0rc1. This is the first release candidate for bind9.
Changes are too numerous to list here in detail, but highlights are:
The communication between "rndc" and "named" is now
authenticated using digital signatures. Because of
this, rndc now requires a configuration file "rndc.conf"
containing a shared secret, with a corresponding
"controls" clause in named.conf.
When the server is chrooted using the -t option,
it no longer needs copies of the passwd and group
files in the chroot environment.
Various bug fixes and cleanups, especially
in the dig, host, nslookup, and nsupdate
programs.
There are a few known bugs:
The option "query-source * port 53;" will not work as
expected. Instead of the wildcard address "*", you need
to use an explicit source IP address.
On some systems, IPv6 and IPv4 sockets interact in
unexpected ways. For details, see doc/misc/ipv6.
To reduce the impact of these problems, the server
no longer listens for requests on IPv6 addresses
by default. If you need to accept DNS queries over
IPv6, you must specify "listen-on-v6 { any; };"
in the named.conf options statement.
There are known problems with thread signal handling
under Solaris 2.6.
