BIND Utilities-9.3.0p1

BIND Utilities is not a separate package, it is a collection of the client side programs that are included with BIND-9.3.0p1. The BIND package includes the client side programs nslookup, dig and host. If you install BIND server, these programs will be installed automatically. This section is for those users who don't need the complete BIND server, but need these client side applications.

Install BIND Utilities by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../9.3.0-patch1 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make -C lib/dns &&
make -C lib/isc &&
make -C lib/bind9 &&
make -C lib/isccfg &&
make -C lib/lwres &&
make -C bin/dig

Now, as the root user:

make -C bin/dig install

patch -Np1 -i ../9.3.0-patch1: There's a vulnerability in the DNSSEC code. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/938617. The patch fixes the bug.

make -C lib/...: These commands build the libraries that are needed for the client programs.

make -C bin/dig: This command builds the client programs.
