Primary & secondary DNS-Server Problems: permission denied

[Pasco]

Hi 2gether

I tried to set up my DNS primary and slave server for my domain pasco.ch. So far it looked good. It has already functioned, more or less. But there still seems to be a big problem with my slave DNS server.

If I check var/log/messages from my secondary DNS Server there are following error messages:

Jul 17 22:26:15 tom named[31488]: transfer of 'pasco.ch/IN' from 217.162.76.43#53: connected using 192.168.100.2#56190
Jul 17 22:26:16 tom named[31488]: dumping master file: tmp-TKR1FpouaN: open: permission denied
Jul 17 22:26:16 tom named[31488]: transfer of 'pasco.ch/IN' from 217.162.76.43#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied
Jul 17 22:26:16 tom named[31488]: transfer of 'pasco.ch/IN' from 217.162.76.43#53: end of transfer

What do I wrong? If I check my nameservers with dnsreport.com I get following (main) errors:

All nameservers report identical NS records WARNING: At least one of your nameservers did not return your NS records (it reported 0 answers). This could be because of a referral, if you have a lame nameserver (which would need to be fixed).

84.75.88.120 returns 0 answers (may be a referral)

and

FAIL Lame nameservers ERROR: You have one or more lame nameservers. These are nameservers that do NOT answer authoritatively for your domain. This is bad; for example, these nameservers may never get updated. The following nameservers are lame:
84.75.88.120


I guess, these two errors are the result of the above mentioned permission denied message? What do I wrong?

Thanks for your advice.

Did you open port 53 TCP and UDP for the DNS?

[Pasco]

Yes I did. In fact, the primary DNS Server seems to be able to communicate with the secondary DNS Server and in reverse too.

What are the current permissions of /tmp? Who is the owner / groop?

Should root:root and 777 (g+rwx,u+rwx,o+rwx)

if not, correct and try again...

If you are using bind, did you set allow-transfer correctly?

[falko]

Which distribution do you use on your secondary DNS?

[Pasco]

@ Ben: Permissions are set correct (1777) and also owner:group

@ sjau: No, I haven't set allow-transfer, but I thought this is done by ISP-DNS-Manager automaticly...

@ falko: I'm using ISPConfig Vers. 2.1.2 on the secondary dns server..ups, quite old. That's why I'm updating now the system to 2.2.5 :-).

Was there any DNS Secondary Server issue on 2.1.2? :-)

Thx, p@sco

@ Pasco

I'm not familiar with the ISP-DNS-Manager... if it makes config files for Bind then have a look at them and check whether the allow-transfer is set properly...

I don't mean your ISPConfig version, I need to know which Linux distribution you use - Fedora, Debian, SuSE, etc.

[Pasco]

@ Falko: Oh, I've overread that...you've meant my distro. On the primary DNS Server I use Fedora Core 4 and on the secondary DNS Server Fedora Core 5.
