Description Mathieu FRANCOIS 2004-05-20 10:37:17 UTC

Some of the problems detailed in bug 19324 were due to ignoring the 'caps' USE flag in the ebuild.

The linux capabilities are compiled by default with Bind : if your running kernel does not support them, or if they are not properly configured, you cannot start the named daemon

Example of error message : "named: capset failed: Operation not permitted"

Here is the line to add in the src_compile() function of the bind ebuild:

# use caps || myconf="${myconf} --disable-linux-caps

What ebuild does this refer to? Let me know and I can try and take care of it.

Comment 2 Mathieu FRANCOIS 2004-07-03 08:24:30 UTC

In net-dns/bind-9.2.3.ebuild :

- Modify the following :

IUSE ="ssl ipv6 doc caps"

- And add in the src_compile() function :

use caps || myconf="${myconf} --disable-linux-caps"
