Bug #336

Malformed SOA, MX, and NS records

Description

Both the forward and reverse zones' SOA, NS, and MX records have only the domain where FQDN is the common practice, per the RFCs.

An alternative correction is to provide an A record for the domain. This is NOT the preferred solution.

If you need more explanation, I should be able to dig out sections of the RFCs and pages from Cricket's DS book!

History

  • Priority changed from Urgent to High

this is not as useful as it could be.

can you show an example, with before and after settings?
(or better yet, a patch for hdactl).

#2 Updated by rgmhtt almost 12 years ago

In /usr/bin/hdactl

SOA occurs three times

printf $void " IN SOA %s. root.%s. (\n", $domain, $domain;
    printf $name2addr " IN SOA %s. root.%s. (\n", $domain, $domain;
    printf $addr2name "@ IN SOA %s. root.%s. (\n", $domain, $domain;

In each of these it should be

"@ IN SOA hda.%s. root.%s. (\n"

MX appears 2 lines twice:

printf $name2addr "\t\tIN MX 10 %s.\n", $domain;
    printf $name2addr "*\tIN MX 10 %s.\n", $domain;

again same change:

"\t\tIN MX 10 hda.%s.\n"

NS appears three times:

printf $void "\t\tIN NS %s.\n", $void_host;
    printf $name2addr "\t\tIN NS %s.\n", $domain;
    printf $addr2name "\t\tIN NS %s.\n", $domain;

same change:

"\t\tIN NS hda.%s.\n"

I don't know if there is any other place to make these changes. These seem obvious.
