CentOS 7 package ships writable /etc/knot-resolver

by Anand Buddhdev

Hello Knot resolver folks, and especially the packagers, I've noticed that the CentOS 7 packages published by CZNIC ship with /etc/knot-resolver writable by the "knot-res" user (the directory mode is 0775). It seems that the directory is writable, because kresd (running as user knot-res) runs a lua script to manage the /etc/knot-resolver/root.keys file. My sysadmin mind is suspicious of this setup. If any other modules of kresd have a bug, they have the potential to modify config files in /etc/knot-resolver. My thinking is that the root.keys file should be installed in /var/cache/knot-resolver, and that is writable by "knot-res". Could someone please explain to me why the config directory is writable by an unprivileged user? Is there a good reason I'm not seeing for this setup? Regards, Anand Buddhdev

Knot Resolver - module hints - reload?

by Milan Jeskynka Kazatel

Hello, Could someone help me to understand the behavior of Knot Resolver? Can I somehow process a change in the list of static records for knot resolver like a command for reloading configuration? If I have in the kresd.conf file a module modules = { 'hints> iterate', - Add static records to resolver ... ... and the list is located - Load static records hints.add_hosts ('/ etc / knot-resolver / static_records.txt') how can I reload the change in the static_records.txt list for the kresd @ 1 service Or should I always restart the daemon kresd @ 1 systemctl restart Kresd @ 1 Thanks for any advice, Regadrs, -- Smil Milan Jeskyňka Kazatel

Re: [knot-resolver-users] Specify wildcard subdomain static hints

by Vladimír Čunát

Hello, first note the change to the correct mailing-list. On 7/29/19 10:20 AM, Balakrishnan B wrote: > I am trying to add wildcard static hints to catch all local domains like > below.

No, I don't think there's a good way currently. The hints module only supports exact names with A and AAAA and corresponding PTR, like in /etc/hosts files. With our [RPZ] you can do wildcards, but there's no support for positive answers (so you need to do NXDOMAIN or similar denials). BTW, note that .local is reserved for [mDNS] protocol, in particular kresd might never get to such requests because it's "only" a DNS server: > 3.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Knot Resolver users, Knot Resolver 4.1.0 has been released! This is a minor release with couple improvements and many bugfixes, including security fixes for CVE-2019-10190 and CVE-2019-10191.

network configuration via systemd sockets - feedback?

by Tomas Krizek

Hi, I'd like to ask your opinion about knot-resolver's systemd integration - in particular, about the network configuration which is currently done via drop-in files for systemd sockets - kresd.socket, kresd-tls.socket, kresd-doh.socket and kresd-webmgmt.socket. [network-config-doc] Have you had any issues while trying to configure network interfaces for kresd? Do you find the benefits of socket activation worth the extra complexity of network configuration? (socket activation enables kresd to be executed under non-priviledged user and the process doesn't require any extra capabilities) All the newtork configuration could take place in kresd.conf via net.listen() [net-listen-exmaple] if we decided to drop the socket activation feature. However, this would require we start the service with the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability, which could be dropped once kresd binds to the ports. Any feedback is welcome! [network-config-doc] - https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/daemon.html#network-configur… [net-listen-exmaple] - https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/daemon.html#c.net.listen -- Tomas Krizek PGP: 4A8B A48C 2AED 933B D495 C509 A1FB A5F7 EF8C 4869

some early kresd 4.0.0 DoH observations

by Christoph

Hi, to see whether kresd 4.0.0 would do a comparable or better job than doh-httpproxy we analyzed failure rates by looking at HTTP response codes for each setup and found some significant differences for HTTP response code 400: sample size: 1 000 000 HTTP requests for each run HTTP Code [1] [2] [3] -------------------------------- 200 93.96 97.04 96.33 499 3.28 2.45 3.11 400 2.07 0.18 0.22 <<< 415 0.68 0.32 0.34 408 0.002 0.002 0.002 413 0.001 0 0 Numbers show percent. setups: [1] nginx -> (http, no tls) kresd [2] nginx -> (http, no tls) doh-httpproxy -> (udp/53) unbound To reduce the likelihood of measuring unrelated issues (like issues caused by qname minimization differences between unbound and kresd) we also used kresd as DNS resolver without touching its DoH code path: [3] nginx -> (http, no tls) doh-httpproxy -> (udp/53) kresd The HTTP request rate for [1] was slightly lower when compared with [2] and [3]. To be more precise, doh-httproxy services was configured with two running instances as described here: https://facebookexperimental.github.io/doh-proxy/tutorials/nginx-dohhttppro… version information: kresd 4.0.0 nginx 1.14.2 unbound 1.9.0 https://github.com/facebookexperimental/doh-proxy @ 9f943a4c232bd018ae155b7839a6b4e13181a5fd This information on its own is not very useful but it might help motivate further tests in a test-environment with no real end-user traffic that allows for more verbose logging. We would also like to hear from other kresd DoH adopters if they observe similar failure rates on their setups. Some open questions for further tests: - How reproducible are these results? - Does the HTTP method (GET vs. POST) change the error rate? - Can the error rate be reduced by running multiple kresd backends? (nginx sending requests to two kresd bakcends) - Is the DNS transaction ID of always 0 as per RFC8484 an issue when kresd is not also terminating the initial HTTPS connection from the DoH client? (from a backend's perspective two distinct queries might look identical when a reverse proxy sits between the DoH client and kresd) regards, Christoph
