Installing Software on Caldera Linux Systems

djbdns uses daemontools to start, monitor, and control the DNS services. Before running djbdns you need to install daemontools 0.70 or above.

You will also need to install ucspi-tcp if you want to use axfrdns or axfr-get.

I have RPMS for daemontools, ucspi-tcp, and djbdns on ftp.celestial.com compiled for various flavors of Caldera Linux. These RPMS include manual pages in addition to the software, and the daemontools rpm makes the necessary changes to /etc/inittab to have svscan run automatically.

1. OpenLinux 1.3 daemontools, ucspi-tcp, djbdns, and BIND and file utilities.

2. OpenLinux 2.3 daemontools, ucspi-tcp, djbdns, and BIND and file utilities.

3. eServer 2.3 daemontools, ucspi-tcp, djbdns, and BIND and file utilities.

4. eDesktop 2.4 daemontools, ucspi-tcp, djbdns, and BIND and file utilities.

5. Source RPMS daemontools, ucspi-tcp, djbdns, and BIND and file utilities.

Down load the appropriate files, login as root, and install them using the commands:

rpm -i daemontools*.i386.rpm
rpm -i djbdns*.i386.rpm
rpm -i ucspi-tcp*.i386.rpm

Assuming that everything goes according to plan, you should now have a /service directory with the svscan program running to monitor daemon processes.
