Howdy. I'm trying to set up BIND on my LAN as a precursor to Kerberos/LDAP, and it's driving me utterly nuts.
It's refusing to load my zone file due to "unexpected end of input" which I completely can't track down.
Here's the excerpt from the logs: | Code: | 27-Oct-2006 15:46:57.245 dns_rdata_fromtext: pri/snafu.local:7: near eol: unexpected end of input
27-Oct-2006 15:46:57.245 zone snafu.local/IN: loading master file pri/snafu.local: unexpected end of input |
And the zonefile in question: | Code: | $TTL 600
@ IN SOA prospero.snafu.local. (
2006102716
3600
600
86400
3600 )
TXT ". : s n a f u . l o c a l : ."
NS prospero
MX 10 prospero
; Hosts
localhost A 127.0.0.1
prospero IN A 192.168.1.30
banquo IN A 192.168.1.20
tybalt IN A 192.168.1.6
ariel IN A 192.168.1.1
tamora IN A 192.168.1.10
;_kerberos IN TXT "SNAFU.LOCAL"
;_kerberos-master._udp IN SRV 0 0 88 prospero
;_kerberos-adm._tcp IN SRV 0 0 749 prospero
;_kpasswd._udp IN SRV 0 0 464 Kerberos
;_kerberos._udp IN SRV 0 0 88 prospero
; IN SRV 0 0 88 banquo
;_ldap._tcp.snafu.local IN SRV 0 0 389 prospero
; IN SRV 0 0 389 banquo |
Can anyone spot any glaring mistakes? Particularly along the end of line 7...?! It's already driven me half-crazy today what with it's refusal to accept values like "1h" instead of "3600" (why is this not the case in any of the BID tuts I've seen), and I'm ready to throw the computer out of the window...! |

not sure if this is relevant... but there is no address for the hostmaster's email...
in your SOA you should have
$ORIGIN or @ (same thing) IN SOA your nameserver and your hostmaster address
| Code: | $TTL 600
@ IN SOA ns.nameserver.net. hostmaster.company.com. (

Run named-checkzone against your zone files. It's pretty good about find what's wrong.

Should those lines be instead
| Code: |
IN TXT ". : s n a f u . l o c a l : ."
IN NS prospero
IN MX 10 prospero |
Just guessing, I don't have ATM anything where to check at.

The IN is usually optional, but I like to include it. One other thing that might be an issue is the NS line itself. Normally it's a good idea to use the full name rather than just the hostname.

I would guess this is almost certainly the problem since the error is unexpected end of input. |
