Comment 4 for bug 1042868

Julian,

So I made the directory to be owned by maas user, root group, and this is the outcome:

ubuntu@maas:/etc/bind$ ls -l maas/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99 Aug 29 08:57 named.conf.maas
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 193 Aug 29 08:57 named.conf.rndc.maas
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 539 Aug 29 08:57 rndc.conf.maas
ubuntu@maas:/etc/bind$ sudo chown -R maas:root maas
ubuntu@maas:/etc/bind$ ls -l maas/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 maas maas 99 Aug 29 09:05 named.conf.maas
-rw-r--r-- 1 maas root 193 Aug 29 08:57 named.conf.rndc.maas
-rw-r--r-- 1 maas root 539 Aug 29 08:57 rndc.conf.maas

Now, I re-enabled the DNS server from the WebUI , the following error was seen in the celery.log. Additionally, I noticed that permissions on named.conf.maas were changed, causing bind9 to fail reloading the configuration file:

== Incorrect file permissions ==
ubuntu@maas:/etc/bind$ ls -l maas/
total 12
-rw------- 1 maas maas 99 Aug 29 09:05 named.conf.maas
-rw-r--r-- 1 maas root 193 Aug 29 08:57 named.conf.rndc.maas
-rw-r--r-- 1 maas root 539 Aug 29 08:57 rndc.conf.maas

=== bind failure (syslog) ===
