When I try to run the make command I get the following errors: cache.c:336: error: invalid lvalue in assignment cache.c:340: error: invalid lvalue in assignment I've attached the complete output file. thanks in advance!
Ok, now the installation worked. Thanks! I'm curious though, when I first started mydns it hanged, that is I didn't get back my promt. What's up eith the group/user nobody? This is my output: root@bowie:/etc/init.d# mydns start mydns: Extraneous command-line arguments ignored mydns[5012]: error loading gid for group `nobody' mydns[5012]: using gid 65534 from user `nobody' mydns[5012]: mydns 1.1.0 started Tue Feb 14 10:28:29 2006 (listening on 3 addresses) mydns[5012]: bowie up 2m20s (140s) 0 questions (0/s) NOERROR=0 SERVFAIL=0 NXDOMAIN=0 NOTIMP=0 REFUSED=0 mydns[5012]: interrupted root@bowie:/etc/init.d# cd / root@bowie:/# /etc/init.d/mydns stop Stopping DNS server: mydns. root@bowie:/# /etc/init.d/mydns start Starting DNS server: mydnsmydns[5052]: error loading gid for group `nobody' mydns[5052]: using gid 65534 from user `nobody' . root@bowie:/# I'll continue the rest of the howto tonight. Thanks for your active interest!!
Maybe you dont have a group nobody, on some linux systems the group is named nogroup instead. I think it is ok that MyDNS uses the group of the nobody user instead, so dont worry
You must change the group in /etc/mydns.conf: Code: group = nogroup This is described on page 1 of the MyDNS tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/mydns_name_server
