BIND CHROOT JAIL - How to REMOVE CHROOT JAIL 1

[F1lby]

Hi,
I'm running BIND 9.5 in Fedora 9.
I wish to remove the CHROOT jail from Bind so Bind is now free.
I'm no Linux guru so am struggling to find a way to remove the CHROOT jail for Bind without doing anything destructive.

I've got a developer who needs to allow Bind to 'talk' to other areas of the file system, and currently it can't do this.
Security is not an issue since this is only a development to be used in-house.

Kindest Regards

try removing bind chroot

rpm -e bind-chroot

/etc/init.d/named restart

not sure if there is any other config to do but i don't think so.

If you remove the chroot jail all zones and other config files will have to belong to root in order for bind to work.

If I could have sex each time I reboot my server, I would definitely prefer Windoz over Linux!

FANTASTIC!

I also ran setenforce 0 before executing rpm -e bind-chroot.

setenforce 0 didn't have any effect on its own. I'm not sure if it helped with your solution.

Either way, the jail breakout has been a success and Bind is now merrily writing logs!!!

Kindest Regards and Many Thanks
