Hi,
I just upgraded my Knot DNS to the newest PPA release 2.5.1-3, after
which the server process refuses to start. Relevant syslog messages:
Jun 15 11:19:41 vertigo knotd[745]: error: module, invalid directory
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/knot'
Jun 15 11:19:41 vertigo knotd[745]: 2017-06-15T11:19:41 error: module,
invalid directory '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/knot'
Jun 15 11:19:41 vertigo knotd[745]: critical: failed to open

Jun 15 11:19:41 vertigo knotd[745]: 2017-06-15T11:19:41 critical: failed
to open configuration database '' (invalid parameter)
Could this have something to do with the following change:
knot (2.5.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Enable dnstap module and set default moduledir to multiarch path

Hi there,
I'm having some issues configuring dnstap. I'm using Knot version 2.5.1,
installed via the `knot` package on Debian 3.16.43-2. As per this
documentation
<https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/2.5/html/modules.html#dnstap-dnstap-traffic-lo…>,
I've added the following lines to my config file:
mod-dnstap:
- id: capture_all
sink: "/etc/knot/capture"
template:
- id: default
global-module: mod-dnstap/capture_all
But when starting knot (e.g. by `sudo knotc conf-begin`), I get the message:
error: config, file 'etc/knot/knot.conf', line 20, item 'mod-dnstap', value
'' (invalid item)
error: failed to load configuration file '/etc/knot/knot.conf' (invalid
item)
I also have the same setup on an Ubuntu 16.04.1 running Knot version
2.4.0-dev, and it works fine.
Any idea what might be causing the issue here? Did the syntax for
mod-dnstap change or something? Should I have installed from source? I do
remember there being some special option you needed to compile a dependency
with to use dnstap when I did this the first time, but I couldn't find
documentation for it when I looked for it.
Thanks!

Hi,
after upgrade to 2.5.1 the output of knotc zone-status shows strange
timestamps for refresh and expire:
[example.net.] role: slave | serial: 1497359235 | transaction: none |
freeze: no | refresh: in 415936h7m15s | update: not scheduled |
expiration: in 416101h7m15s | journal flush: not scheduled | notify: not
scheduled | DNSSEC resign: not scheduled | NSEC3 resalt: not scheduled |
parent DS query: not schedule
However the zone is refreshed within correct interval, so it seems its
just a display issue. Is this something specific to our setup?
Regards
André
Dear Knot Resolver users,
CZ.NIC is proud to announce the release of Knot Resolver 1.3.0.
The biggest feature of this release is the support for DNSSEC Validation
in the forwarding mode, the feature many people were eagerly awaiting for.
We have also squeezed refactoring of AD flag handling and several other
bugfixes. The 1.3.0 is currently the recommended release to run at your
recursive nameservers.
Here's the 1.3.0 changelog:
Security
--------
- Refactor handling of AD flag and security status of resource records.
In some cases it was possible for secure domains to get cached as
insecure, even for a TLD, leading to disabled validation.
It also fixes answering with non-authoritative data about nameservers.
Improvements
------------
- major feature: support for forwarding with validation (#112).
The old policy.FORWARD action now does that; the previous non-validating
mode is still avaliable as policy.STUB except that also uses caching (#122).
- command line: specify ports via @ but still support # for compatibility
- policy: recognize 100.64.0.0/10 as local addresses
- layer/iterate: *do* retry repeatedly if REFUSED, as we can't yet easily
retry with other NSs while avoiding retrying with those who REFUSED
- modules: allow changing the directory where modules are found,
and do not search the default library path anymore.
Bugfixes
--------
- validate: fix insufficient caching for some cases (relatively rare)
- avoid putting "duplicate" record-sets into the answer (#198)

Hi,
we updated knot from 2.4.3 to 2.5.1 and the include statement does not
seem to work anymore:

If I add the content from zones.conf into knot.conf it works. It seems
like the included file gets parsed twice, when I add a domain twice, it
will fail at the line with the duplicate zone. If there are no duplicate
domains in the file, it always fails at the first domain found.
Is this a bug or something with our setup?

André

Hello Knot DNS users,
CZ.NIC has just released the 2.5.0 version of Knot DNS with the
following features:
- New LMDB-based KASP database, which no longer uses JSON files and
provides
better performance and robustness. With this change, the keymgr syntax
has been
redesigned and new pykeymgr utility was introduced for migration from
the previous version.
- Automatic DNSSEC signing newly supports KSK rollover and optional
shared KSK keys.
During the key submission, CDS and CDNSKEY records are generated. A
periodical checking
for new DS at the masters or a maximum time interval can be configured
for automatic
finalization of the rollover or by manual calling the
zone-ksk-submitted knotc command.
- Completely new query module API with dynamic loading functionality.
So, for example, the dnstap module can be a separate package in a
repository.
- Zone events freeze and thaw knotc operations, which allow reliable
manual zone
modification along with possible automatic modifications.
- Zone journal can be used to store full zone contents beside the
subsequent zone
differences if the zone file synchronization is disabled. This
configuration is especially
interesting on slave servers. Manual zone flush is still possible with
an optional
destination directory parameter.
