Configuring SWATCH

On AUTH1

1. Create the configuration file for swatch:

	- Edit /usr/local/etc/swatch.conf -- use TAB and not SPACE
	  for the lines below "watchfor"!

	$ sudo vi /usr/local/etc/swatch.conf

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - cut below - - - - - - - - - - - - -

watchfor /client ([0-9A-F.:]+)\D\d+ \((\S+)\): zone transfer '(.*)\/IN' denied/
	mail=%USER%,subject=Zone AXFR denied for $3 from $1
	threshold type=limit,count=1,seconds=600

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - cut above - - - - - - - - - - - - -


2. Enable the mail server

	- Add to /etc/rc.conf

	postfix_enable="YES"

	- Then run the following commands

	$ sudo newaliases
	$ sudo service postfix start

3. Try sending mail to yourself

	- Now send yourself an email:

	$ echo hello | mail %USER%@auth1.grpX.dns.nsrc.org

	... don't forget to replace X above with the number of your group.

	- See if the mail has arrived:

    	$ mutt -f /var/mail/%USER%

		(answer Yes if you are asked to create the folder for the mail)

4. Start swatch:

	- This must be done as root, remember to use sudo:

	$ sudo -s

	# swatch -c /usr/local/etc/swatch.conf --tail-file=/etc/namedb/log/general --daemon

	# exit

    $ ps axuww | grep swatch


  	- You should see a line like the following:

   root 58811  0.0  0.0 11500  2124   5  RJ   11:41AM   0:00.02 /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/swatch -c /usr/local/etc/swatch.conf --tail-file=/etc/namedb/log/general --daemon

7. Ask another group to perform a zone transfer of your zone:

	From their machine:

	# dig @auth1.grpX.dns.nsrc.org YOURTLD axfr		(where X is YOUR group)

	Q: do they get a copy of your zone ?
	Q: do you get an email about it ?

8. Check that mails are coming in:

    	# mutt -f /var/mail/%USER%
	
   	Note the information contained in the message.
