-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for GNU ADNS
-
-1. Read the security note below.
-
-2. Standard GNU package build process:
- $ ./configure [--disable-dynamic] [--prefix=... ...]
- $ make
- # make install
-
-Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive documentation yet. For now,
-use the comments in the public header file adns.h, and for the C
-programs their usage messages. If you find this information
-ambiguous, incomplete or wrong, please report it as a bug.
-
-
-TESTED PLATFORMS
-
-The following platforms have been tested at at least some point and
-should work - please report if they don't:
- adns version OS
- 1.0 Linux glibc 2.1 (actually tested on Debian 2.2)
- 1.0 Solaris 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 [3]
- 1.0 FreeBSD 3.2, 4.0 (no poll(2), so no adnsresfilter)
-The following work, but only with --disable-dynamic:
- 1.0 IRIX 6.5 *not* with GCC [1], [2]
- 1.0 AIX 4.1.5
- 1.0 HP-UX 10.20, 11.00
-Later versions of the same OS should work too. Usually entries in
-this table mean adns passes its own regression test, when compiled
-with GCC, and appears to install and run correctly. If you have more
-information for this table please let me know.
-
-Notes/known problems:
- [1] IRIX 6.5 inet_ntoa seems to break with GCC.
- [2] The SGI IRIX compiler produces many spurious warnings.
- [3] Dynamically linked, needs some help to find libadns.so.1.0.
-
-The following platforms are known to be deficient and will not work:
- Solaris 2.5 Lacks vsnprintf - install glibc ?
- TruUnix64 (DEC UNIX 4.0f) Lacks vsnprintf - install glibc ?
-Please don't report these problems unless you have a nice,
-straightforward solution or workaround for them. (I don't consider
-including a `vsnprintf' implementation nice, so don't send me one.)
-
-
-PORTABILITY INFORMATION
-
-You will find that adns requires a reasonably standard and up to date
-system. Systems which are neither GNU nor UNIX are not supported.
-
-The build system assumes by default that you have ELF shared
-libraries, and that the directory in which libadns.so.1 will be
-installed is on your dynamic library search path. If your system
-doesn't have ELF shared libraries then dynamic linking is not
-supported by adns. Use the --disable-shared configure option.
-Please don't send me patches to use libtool (which I dislike).
-
-Compilers other than GNU C should work, but are not well-tested. Feel
-free to send me patches to improve the situation. However, the
-Makefiles only know how to use GCC to make dynamic libraries.
-
-The adnsresfilter utility uses `tsearch' from the C library (a la SVID
-and X/Open). If you don't have tsearch configure will arranges for
-adnsresfilter not to be built. To fix this, install a C library
-containing tsearch, such as the GNU C library. It is best if tsearch
-uses an automatically-balancing tree algorithm, like the glibc version
-does. Simple binary trees may perform badly.
-
-If you change the m4 input files in regress/ you may need GNU m4.
-
-You will probably find that GNU Make is required.
-Please do not report this as a bug; install GNU Make instead.
-
-
-SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE - AN IMPORTANT NOTE
-
-adns is not a `full-service resolver': it does no caching of responses
-at all, and has no defence against bad nameservers or fake packets
-which appear to come from your real nameservers. It relies on the
-full-service resolvers listed in resolv.conf to handle these tasks.
-
-For secure and reasonable operation you MUST run a full-service
-nameserver on the same system as your adns applications, or on the
-same local, fully trusted network. You MUST only list such
-nameservers in the adns configuration (eg resolv.conf).
-
-You MUST use a firewall or other means to block packets which appear
-to come from these nameservers, but which were actually sent by other,
-untrusted, entities.
-
-Furthermore, adns is not DNSSEC-aware in this version; it doesn't
-understand even how to ask a DNSSEC-aware nameserver to perform the
-DNSSEC cryptographic signature checking.
