Download MaraDNS 1.2.07.4

MaraDNS can, as the name suggests, set up a DNS. The program is written with the premise to create a secure and compact DNS. For example, it uses its own library to prevent buffer overflows and does not run in a root account but as an unprivileged user. The developers have already released version 1.2.07.4 in the stable branch with the following changes:

Version 1.2.07.4:

• Delegation NS records fixed
• Some minor mararc parsing bugs fixed
• Documentation tweaks (the webpage now validates, etc.)

Version 1.2.07.3:

• MaraDNS compiles on OpenBSD (Thanks, Adam Montague, for the OpenBSD account).
• MaraDNS RPM file fixed to include /etc/maradns/logger directory that the daeminizing tool needs.
• Documentation updated to clarify that a single name can have more than one IP
• Updated the mqhash password management utility (Next: Document this useful little program).
• The binary RPM is now built on CentOS 3.7 instead of RedHat 6.2

Version 1.2.07.2:

• Location of Duende in the zoneserver startup script was broken. Fixed. Thanks to Daniel Zilli for finding this.
• Have the server return “server fail” instead of “format error” when no nameservers can be contacted when trying to resolve a given host name.
• Make the default behavior for the above case be to send out that “server fail” message.
• Added Danial Zilli’s wonderful Brazilian Portuguese translation of Mara’s documents and status

Version 1.2.07.1:

• duende now always logs a message before exiting
• zone names are now case-insensitive.
• Programs in sqa/ directory can compile again.
