New draft for ``long'' server setup document posted
by Peter Koch 29 Feb '00

29 Feb '00

Dear all, an action item from last week's DNS WG meeting was to post the latest version of "RIPE DNS WG Guide To Setting Up a DNS Server", the only remaining document in our trilogy. The draft has just been sent to the Internet Drafts directory: draft-koch-ripe-dns-setup-guide-00.txt Until all mirror sites have grabbed it you can also access my local copy at http://www.TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE/~pk/dns/draft-koch-ripe-dns-setup-guide… This is a draft, so there are several sections ``TBD''. However, we all know much more to say about DNS, but we have to constrain ourselves to a digestable piece of paper. Any comments and suggestions are very welcome, but I would like to suggest that we only very carefully add more bullet points. Maybe we could even get rid of some. Any first hand experiences with the desired target audience are especially appreciated. I plan to have an updated draft with all the gaps filled ready by RIPE 36. Please post contributions to this list. -Peter

Hi! Would you please publish the following document as RIPE-192. The number has already been assigned long ago by Ambrose. The DNS WG has approved this document long ago. *** PLEASE OBSERVE *** that the RIPE document number 192 has already been reserved.

Invitation: informal DNSSEC workshop.
by Lars-Johan Liman 07 Feb '00

07 Feb '00

Hi! First the important thing: *REGISTER* BY SENDING A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 16, AT THE LATEST! Now, register for what? At the last RIPE meeting, I asked if there was any interest in holding a DNSSEC workshop at the upcoming RIPE meeting, and there was some, so here goes: I hereby invite you (primarily the DNS-wg, others if there is room) to participate in an informal workshop around secure DNS. The intended schedule is that I (or Ed Lewis, if I can persuade him that this is a chance in a lifetime ... :-) give a brief presentation on the new record types and how they work and also a quick overview over the tools that are part of the BIND distribution. Then we try to obtain some hands-on experience in the terminal room, by setting up a number of zones, and trying to make them work. _If_we_are_lucky_, ISC might let us use the new BIND version 9, which is _supposed_ to be available in beta at the time of the event. I have coerced RIPE NCC into providing 10 Unix machines for the event, and we have to limit the number of participants to 15 due to space limitations. If you have your own laptop with some Unix implementation (according to your religious conviction :-) on it, please bring it. The schedule will be something like ... When: Tuesday February 22 Where: Hotel Krasnapolsky, Damsquare 9, Amsterdam, The Netherlands RIPE meeting terminal room 09.00 Welcome and administrativa 09.15 Introduction to DNSSEC (by L-J Liman, or, if Lady Fortune smiles, Ed Lewis from Network Associates). 12.00 Lunch (not included) 13.30 Hands-on installation and setup. Compilation, installation, key generation, zone creation and signing, delegation. (Coffee under ways - or short break.) 16.30 Exchange of experiences. 17.00 End of day. There will be opportunity for coffee brakes in the morning and in the afternoon if you register for the RIPE meeting, as we then can participate in their coffee arrangements. Now, this an _INFORMAL_ event of the type "let's get together and see how it works" rather than an official training course, so please don't expect me to describe how to run "vi" or "make", or what an "NS record" means. Also - please *REGISTER* by sending a private note to me on Wednesday February 16, at the latest. The workshop will be free of cost for the participants. Best regards, /Lars-Johan Liman #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # What the DNS really needs, is CLUE records ... ;-) #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, Systems Specialist !
