Bind upgrade producing errors on pfsense 2.5 upgrade

anthonypants · Feb 18, 2021, 8:40 PM

@wrgraves Yeah, if you open up that script file, it says that when it's called to start the job, it'll check if named exists in the list of running processes (ps auxw), and if it isn't already running, it'll run the command /usr/local/sbin/named -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/. -t says it needs to run inside the chroot at /cf/named/, -c points to the configuration file it's going to use (also inside the chroot), and -u says which user it'll run as.

And my Redmine bug report is here, if you want to add your details.

could you try to re-save BIND configuration in the WebGUI and check again?
that can be related to https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7271

wrgraves · Feb 19, 2021, 5:36 PM

Without named running I could not re-save the config. I check and unbound is not running during this. Not sure how that might make named exit with a segmentation fault...
root@pfSense:~# dmesg | grep named

signal 11, also know as "segmentation fault

@viktor_g Modifying the BIND configuration via the WebGUI doesn't appear to do anything. Changing the unbound configuration to use port 8953 is a strange suggestion; no one in this thread appears to be seeing "can't bind socket" errors from unbound, and I can assure you that when named is segfaulting on my system, neither is unbound running, nor is anything using port 953.

What appliance are you using?
VM, Netgate appliance, other hardware?

Same issues here with Bind, I tried everything I could to get this running, I am running on a VM (VMware) Bind currently is NOT compatible with pfSense 2.5.0 period ! Just try to run Bind and rncd on a different port (under the advanced button on the main Bind config window in de web config, and try to run Bind or reinstall Bind and see what happens) I can hardly believe this package was tested on 2.5.0, of course an issue can happen from time to time with a major release, but I am struggling with the Bind control port for years. I did a clean install and restored my configuration, no show for bind what ever I do. It should run on 127.0.0.1 on port 953 and control port on 127.0.0.1 9953 in my configuration

Here the log when I try to start Bind:

So I rolled back to pfSense 2.4 because of Bind not working at all
I have the 2.5.0 Vmware VM still available so if I need to test something of provide logging or so, I will be ready to help

nordeep · Feb 21, 2021, 4:25 PM

The same for me. Seems named is going to Segmentation fault if tried to start with -t(chroot).
Looking forward to a fix.
Roll back to 2.4

still don't understand how to reproduce this issue,
clean install on 2.5 CE with minimal configuration:

In my case its saying after listening on IP interfaces in the log

creating TCP socket: address in use

like port 953 is already in use or so

Might be a problem in our configs. Hope to have an extra box tomorrow night so I can build a fresh install and load my config sometime after that. I can't take down my failed box. Have uninstalled Bind and turned on unbound and switched to Bind on another box until this is resolved.

matthijs · Feb 21, 2021, 5:12 PM

FYI I already did a fresh install and restored my configuration, same problem

wrgraves · Feb 21, 2021, 5:14 PM

@matthijs did bind work before you installed your config ?

matthijs · Feb 21, 2021, 5:15 PM

I have a working 2.4.5 VM running (with no bind problems), If I upgrade to 2.5 I have bind issues.
I also did a fresh 2.5.0 install and restored my 2.4.5 configuration, in both situations I have bind issues

matthijs · Feb 21, 2021, 5:19 PM

I also have ACME implemented with Bind/DNS, so I have ACME keys in Global Settings (main configuration menu - > Advanced Options button) Maybe this is something in common with other people also having issues with bind and 2.5.0 ?

wrgraves · Feb 21, 2021, 5:20 PM

@matthijs I was asking if you tried to install and test Bind on a fresh install of 2.5 before your loaded your config into it ?

matthijs · Feb 21, 2021, 5:23 PM

@wrgraves No I did not do a fresh bind install on a fresh 2.5.0 install (I guess that works fine, like in your situation?)

nordeep · Feb 21, 2021, 5:28 PM

After upgrade to 2.5. Simple run: /usr/local/sbin/named -4 -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/ result is Segmentation fault.

I'm using common bind setup - 1 view, 2 zones, 4 ACLs, No Sync.

wrgraves · Feb 21, 2021, 5:28 PM

@matthijs I have not done that yet. It would take too much downtime. I have a spare system on order that is do tomorrow. Once that's available I should be able to build a stand alone system and try that.

matthijs · Feb 21, 2021, 5:32 PM

@wrgraves
I guess that would work, but I am hoping a full manual reconfiguration of my bind/acme setup with all the dns zones wont be necessary ;-)
