Mandrake, DNS &DHCP?

To jlevie... i'm trying to do that.

Redimido:

I would like to do the third option (in fact i already did the first one, and the second one is really simple), not because i need that in my home network, but because i would like to know the steps involved to do it later in a bigger enviornment.

Can you send me a simple example of the named.conf and dhcpd.conf files that would do the trick?

Thanks for you help,
Francisco Araujo

If you'll send me an email (jim@entrophy-free.net) I'll return a set of templat files that you can exit to suit local hostnames and IP's.

jlevie:
please share that knowlege here

what I have is this:

in /etc/dhcpd.conf you must add at the beginning:
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
ddns-domainname "your.domain.com";
ddns-updates on;

#create your own secret with dnskeygen
key DHCP_UPDATER {
  algorithm HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT;
  secret dn3PED5AffBgHz4ngIkplG==;
};

#here goes your internal dns ip
zone your.domain.com. {
  primary 192.168.0.1;
  key DHCP_UPDATER;
}

zone 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. {
  primary 192.168.0.1;
  key DHCP_UPDATER;
}

#here goes your subnet:
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   option routers 192.168.0.1;
   range 192.168.0.221 192.168.0.252;
}

----------------------------------
and in the named.conf you should add the same key with the same name and in the zone put an "allow update" like this:

key DHCP_UPDATER {
  algorithm HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT;
  secret dn3PED5AffBgHz4ngIkplG==;
};
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
   type master;
   file "internal/192.168.0";
   allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
zone "your.domain.com" {
   type master;
   file "internal/your.domain.com";
   allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
----
of course, you must have a valid zone file, but you should have one valid zone by now.

hope this helps. it took me some days to figure out it.

It's a real mess trying to put all the files involved into a comment. And then there's the problem in trying to pick each  file out and save that to the correct file name and hoping that they don't use a windows box to do the saves and wind up with carriage returns in the data.

I'm quite happy to share the data with anyone that wants it, but I can do without the hassles involved in posting it to an EE comment (been there, done that, and have the Tee Shirt to prove it). So now I only distribute the data as a tar file via email.

would you mind to send me that e-mail to add it to a webserver and then post it back here?
