An administrator recently updated the BIND software package and would like to review the default configuration that shipped with this version. Which of the following files should the administrator review?
Review /etc/named.conf.rpmnew to see the new default configuration that came with the BIND update.
Use /etc/named.conf to view your current active configuration.
Compare /etc/named.conf with /etc/named.conf.rpmnew to identify changes or updates.
By examining /etc/named.conf.rpmnew, you can understand how the new default settings differ from your existing configuration.
I concur.
when a software package is updated, new configuration files are often place in the system with the .rpmnew; these files contain the default configuration settings for the new version of the software.
the existing configuration files is not overwritten, instead, the new configuration is saved with the .rpmnew to allow the admin to review and merge changes manually.
After updating BIND on your Linux system, the main configuration file that shipped with the new version are typically located in the following directory:
- Debian/Ubuntu: /etc/bind/named.conf
- Red Hat/CentOS: /etc/named.conf
The default configuration file for BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) DNS server is typically located at:
C. /etc/named.conf
/etc/named.conf.rpmnew and /etc/named.conf.rpmsave are likely created during updates to preserve the previous configuration files. They usually represent configurations that have been changed or replaced during package updates.
/etc/bind/bind.conf is not a standard location for the default BIND configuration file. It's possible that the BIND configuration directory might be /etc/bind, but the main configuration file is typically named named.conf.
Therefore, the administrator should review the file located at /etc/named.conf to review the default configuration that shipped with the updated BIND software package.
Should this be "B" or am I not understanding this???
An .rpmnew file contains the new default configuration file and leaves your original configuration file untouched. By contrast, and .rpmsave file is a copy of your original configuration file, which has been replaced by the new default file.
