Hi Knot people, I've been trying out rc3, and I've found a few issues, as documented below: 1. In the knotc man page, the "-s" option shows the default as @rundir@/knot.sock. I guess that should have been substituted with the compile-time setting, but wasn't. 2. knotc start doesn't do anything now. It should be removed. 3. knotc restart only stops the server, but does not start it. It should be removed. 4. When configured as a slave, and Knot receives a zone via AXFR containing the following record: <owner-obscured>. 86400 IN TXT "Alliance Fran\195\167aise de Kotte" it serves this record correctly when queried over DNS: dig @a.b.c.d +norec +short txt <owner-obscured>. "Alliance Fran\195\167aise de Kotte" But when saving the zone to disk, this record gets written out as: <owner-obscured>. 86400 IN TXT "Alliance Fran\4294967235\4294967207aise de Kotte" So when Knot restarts and tries to load this zone, it gives an error: Error in zone file /var/lib/knot/XX:4875: Number is bigger than 8 bits. 5. I have configured Knot to log to the file /var/log/knot/knot.log. Most logging goes into it. However, some error messages are still leaking into syslog, for example, the following appears in both Knot's log file, as well as in /var/log/messages (via syslog): logfile: 2013-06-28T20:17:25 [error] Incoming AXFR of 'XX.' with 'a.b.c.d@53': General error. /var/log/messages: Jun 28 20:17:25 admin knot[1630]: [error] Incoming AXFR of 'XX.' with 'a.b.c.d@53': General error. I would expect Knot to send logging to syslog only while it is starting, and it hasn't setup its logging to file yet. Once logging to a file has started, there should be no more logs to syslog, so this looks like a bug, albeit harmless. That's about it for Friday evening :) Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC
