How to install tinydns ( a very secure dns server ) on Suse Linux 10

Installing djbdns on suse linux can be rather difficult if you are not familiar with the exact procedure and how to apply the needed patches, so we are writing this tutorial to help others as well as ourselves. The documentation at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/install.html is very good and we are borrowing heavily from it, but adding the patch stuff and putting it all in one document

 

To start open a root terminal on the suse linux server you are planning to install tinydns on(we are assuming you have none of the djb software installed).

 

Get the patches:

 

mkdir -p /usr/local/djb/patches

cd /usr/local/djb/patches

wget http://www.thedjbway.org/patches/djb_errno_patches.tgz

tar xfvz djb_errno_patches.tgz

 

Install daemontools:

Create a /package directory: 

     mkdir -p /package
     chmod 1755 /package
     cd /package
Download daemontools-0.76.tar.gz into /package. Unpack the daemontools package: 
     gunzip daemontools-0.76.tar
     tar -xpf daemontools-0.76.tar
     rm daemontools-0.76.tar
     cd admin/daemontools-0.76

Patch Daemontools
patch -p1 < /usr/local/djb/patches/daemontools-0.76.errno.patch

Compile and set up the daemontools programs:

package/install

To report success:

mail djb-sysdeps@cr.yp.to < /package/admin/daemontools/compile/sysdeps

 

Install UCSPI-TCP

Download the ucspi-tcp package. The latest published ucspi-tcp package is ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz.

Unpack the ucspi-tcp package: 

     gunzip ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar
     tar -xf ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar
     cd ucspi-tcp-0.88

Patch UCSPI-TCP

patch -p1 < /usr/local/djb/patches/ucspi-tcp-0.88.errno.patch

 

Compile the ucspi-tcp programs: 

     make

As root, install the ucspi-tcp programs under /usr/local: 

     make setup check

To report success:

( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) | mail djb-sysdeps@cr.yp.to

Replace First M. Last with your name.

 

Install DJBDNS

 

Download the djbdns package. The latest published djbdns package is djbdns-1.05.tar.gz.

 

Unpack the djbdns package:

     gunzip djbdns-1.05.tar
     tar -xf djbdns-1.05.tar
     cd djbdns-1.05

Compile the djbdns programs: 

 echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > conf-cc 
 make
 As root, install the djbdns programs under /usr/local:

make setup check

 

At this point you should be able to configure it many different ways, oh and don't forget to open your firewall.
