PROBLEM: (QAR 68986) (Patch ID: OSF440-019) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which a BIND server may find that named will place a warning message in the daemon.log that was not previously seen. This message has no impact on system operation and will only be seen once for any given node on a BIND server at startup. In addressing security related BIND issues, an area of BIND functionality was altered in a previous BIND patch. A message that informs the user that a node name contains non-standard characters, such as underscores, is placed in the daemon.log file. An example of the message is: Jan 7 14:03:25 host named[316]: owner name "xx_yy.zz.com" IN (secondary) is invalid - proceeding anyway Standard characters are defined as A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and hyphen. PROBLEM: (QAR 69028) (Patch ID: OSF440-019) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which a BIND server writes files to the /etc/namedb directory instead of the /var/tmp directory. In addressing security related BIND issues, an area of BIND functionality was altered in a previous BIND patch. Files written to the /etc/namedb directory include named.run, named_dump.db, and named.stats.
