Re: chroot bind?



We could harden the default configuration with the following directives:

options {
	version 'Not available';
	allow-transfer { none; };
	allow-recursion { localnets; };
	allow-query { localnets; };
}

We could allow the configuration of these directives via debconf, which
will ask questions like: "Allow zone-transfers from which hosts?",
Allow recursive queries from which sources?" and so forth.
A more desirable structure will be exhibited by a script called add-zone,
which will create a zone skeleton. This skeleton will be configured with 
security in mind. 
Also, the package should generate a key for use with tsig and add the 
appropriate statements to /etc/bind/named.conf

 I see there are plenty of volunteers for this task, but I am willing to 
provide any assistance you may require.
