Applications Bind DNS Common Issues Issue: server booted with a time in the future, and bind / named downloaded the trust information with a future timestamp Often you'll see this in the logs: validating ./DNSKEY: unable to find a DNSKEY which verifies the DNSKEY RRset and also matches a trusted key for '.' managed-keys-zone: No valid trust anchors for '.' Solution: 1) shut down named 2) delete /var/named/dynamic/managed-keys.bind.jnl and create file just containing: ;BIND LOG V9 8 3) ensure new file is owned by the named user. 4) start up named You'll see something like this in the logs: Apr 28 12:49:00 XXXXXX named[4093]: managed-keys-zone: journal rollforward failed: no more Apr 28 12:49:00 XXXXXX named[4093]: managed-keys-zone: unable to load from '/var/named/dynamic/managed-keys.bind.jnl'; renaming file to '/var/named/dynamic/jn-xMvuHJmM' for failure analysis and retransferring. And then your dnssec should start working again... There's probably better ways to trigger the resolution, but the above seems to work....
