This happens when BIND is run under chroot. It cannot find /dev/poll under chroot. Maybe a separate BIND package should be created especially for chroot.

I'm looking into it with another maintainer. Not sure yet what will come out of it, could be some docs, a new package or something in between. I will update this bug with any progress.

Sorry, haven't had time to actually do anything yet. We discussed it on the maintainers list and most thought that a new package (depending on CSWbind) should be created if we were to support this. Apparantly Red Hat does it that way.

I have finally had some time to look into this. It will be an extra package called CSWbindchroot depending on CSWbind so it's totally optional to install. It will prepare your system for chrootet BIND by creating the device files and so on but it will not touch your current config so it should be safe to install on a running BIND server. After install you need to move your zone files and so on and after that you should be good to go.

I hope I can get some help testing it.

Since it hardly does any damage and I have tested it on Solaris 8 Sparc and OpenSolaris i386 I have today released the chroot package. It does help with creating the needed device files and creating the directory structure needed.

It doesn't try to move your existing (if any) configuration, it doesn't stop/restart your current (if any) BIND daemon. It doesn't even clean up very well if uninstalled. :-)

I hope it helps and please report if you need other devices created or if you want the documentation improved or anything else.

Closing this since I get no feedback. Post a new bug report if there's problems.
