Re: Changes to named between 7.0 and 9.2?



I only have NetBSD and Windows 10 machines.  I have tried the nsupdate from all my NetBSD machiness, a mix of: i386-7.0 amd64-7.0 amd64-8.0_RC1
and amd64_9.2.  It only fails from the 9.2 machines, which suggests to
me that the server setup is fine, but something is wrong with openssl
on my 9.2 installations.  In my named.conf file I have:
        allow-update {key "update";};
to grant the update permission for testing purposes.

I can well believe that something is wrong with the 9.2 installations
(therre have been other problems) and that maybe a configurtion file
needs attention.  But what and where?
