- pkg-message:
- For install:
- If you want to use the PowerDNS Recursor,
you need the following line in /etc/rc.conf(.local)
or in /etc/rc.conf.d/pdns_recursor
pdns_recursor_enable="YES"
Configuration templates are available in /usr/local/etc/pdns
as recursor.conf-dist.
- If upgrading from > 5.1.0:
- Since version 5.1.0 the tarball no longer contains a recursor.conf-dist
and users need to start using the YAML format.
A new command is available to the rc.d script, showyaml, which converts
the old config to YAML format. This can be run via:
service pdns_recursor showyaml
It ony shows the new config and won't overwrite your old config.
Please double check if everything has been converted correctly.
