+
+ <para>
+ By default, Red Hat ships BIND with the most secure SELinux policy
+ that will not prevent normal BIND operation and will prevent exploitation
+ of all known BIND security vulnerabilities . See the selinux(8) man page
+ for information about SElinux.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It is not necessary to run named in a chroot environment if the Red Hat
+ SELinux policy for named is enabled. When enabled, this policy is far
+ more secure than a chroot environment. Users are recommended to enable
+ SELinux and remove the bind-chroot package.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ With this extra security comes some restrictions:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, the SELinux policy allows named to write any master
+ zone database files. Only the root user may create files in the $ROOTDIR/var/named
+ zone database file directory (the options { "directory" } option), where
+ $ROOTDIR is set in /etc/sysconfig/named.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The "named" group must be granted read privelege to
+ these files in order for named to be enabled to read them.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Any file created in the zone database file directory is automatically assigned
+ the SELinux file context named_zone_t .
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, SELinux prevents any role from modifying named_zone_t files; this
+ means that files in the zone database directory cannot be modified by dynamic
+ DNS (DDNS) updates or zone transfers.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Red Hat BIND distribution and SELinux policy creates three directories where
+ named is allowed to create and modify files: /var/named/slaves, /var/named/dynamic
+ /var/named/data. By placing files you want named to modify, such as
+ slave or DDNS updateable zone files and database / statistics dump files in
+ these directories, named will work normally and no further operator action is
+ required. Files in these directories are automatically assigned the 'named_cache_t'
+ file context, which SELinux allows named to write.
+ </para>
+ </refsection>
+
+ <refsection><info><title>Red Hat BIND SDB support</title></info>
+
+ <para>
+ Red Hat ships named with compiled in Simplified Database Backend modules that ISC
+ provides in the "contrib/sdb" directory. Install bind-sdb package if you want use them.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The SDB modules for LDAP, PostGreSQL, DirDB and SQLite are compiled into <command>named-sdb</command>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ See the documentation for the various SDB modules in /usr/share/doc/bind-sdb-*/ .
