+# Additional informations for DNS setup using BIND
+
+# If you are running a capable version of BIND and you wish to support secure
+# GSS-TSIG updates, you must make the following configuration changes:
+
+# - Insert the following lines into the options {} section of your named.conf
+# file:
+tkey-gssapi-credential "DNS/${DNSDOMAIN}";
+tkey-domain "${REALM}";
+
+# - Modify BIND init scripts to pass the location of the generated keytab file.
+# Fedora 8 & later provide a variable named KEYTAB_FILE in /etc/sysconfig/named
+# for this purpose:
+KEYTAB_FILE="${DNS_KEYTAB_ABS}"
+# Note that the Fedora scripts translate KEYTAB_FILE behind the scenes into a
+# variable named KRB5_KTNAME, which is ultimately passed to the BIND daemon. If
+# your distribution does not provide a variable like KEYTAB_FILE to pass a
+# keytab file to the BIND daemon, a workaround is to place the following line in
+# BIND's sysconfig file or in the init script for BIND:
+export KRB5_KTNAME="${DNS_KEYTAB_ABS}"
+
+# - Set appropriate ownership and permissions on the ${DNS_KEYTAB} file. Note
+# that most distributions have BIND configured to run under a non-root user
+# account. For example, Fedora 9 runs BIND as the user "named" once the daemon
+# relinquishes its rights. Therefore, the file ${DNS_KEYTAB} must be readable
+# by the user that BIND run as. If BIND is running as a non-root user, the
+# "${DNS_KEYTAB}" file must have its permissions altered to allow the daemon to
+# read it. Under Fedora 9, execute the following commands:
+chgrp named ${DNS_KEYTAB_ABS}
+chmod g+r ${DNS_KEYTAB_ABS}
+
+# - Ensure the BIND zone file(s) that will be dynamically updated are in a
+# directory where the BIND daemon can write. When BIND performs dynamic
+# updates, it not only needs to update the zone file itself but it must also
+# create a journal (.jnl) file to track the dynamic updates as they occur.
+# Under Fedora 9, the /var/named directory can not be written to by the "named"
+# user. However, the directory /var/named/dynamic directory does provide write
+# access. Therefore the zone files were placed under the /var/named/dynamic
+# directory. The file directives in both example zone statements at the
+# beginning of this file were changed by prepending the directory "dynamic/".
+
+# - If SELinux is enabled, ensure that all files have the appropriate SELinux
+# file contexts. The ${DNS_KEYTAB} file must be accessible by the BIND daemon
+# and should have a SELinux type of named_conf_t. This can be set with the
+# following command:
+chcon -t named_conf_t ${DNS_KEYTAB_ABS}
