Using bind from ports

There are some reasons to use bind from ports and not from world. One reason could be if you want to use DLZ.

We are going to remove bind from world but to keep the bind configs and scripts.

Create or change /etc/src.conf and place following vars in this file:

src.conf

WITHOUT_BIND_DNSSEC="YES"
WITHOUT_BIND_LIBS_LWRES="YES"
WITHOUT_BIND_NAMED="YES"
WITHOUT_BIND_UTILS="YES"

Details of this configuration is documented in man src.conf

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make installworld
make -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES delete-old
make -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES delete-old-libs

If you are missing /usr/src or are unsure, read this.

cd /usr/src
mergemaster

cd /usr/ports/dns/bind98
make config

Select “REPLACE_BASE” and start the build

make install clean

Switch it on and start it

echo 'named_enable="YES"'>>/etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.d/named start
