You need three source tarballs: daemontools, uscpi-tcp, and djbdns. Get these from the djbdns home page at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html.
After installation, you’re ready to start configuration.
To install daemontools, follow these steps:
# mkdir -m 1755 /package # cd /package
Download and unpack the latest daemontools tarball into /package, as follows:
# tar xzvpf daemontools-0.76.tar.gz # cd admin/daemontools-0.76
To compile and set up the daemontools programs, use:
# package/install
Next, fetch the latest uspci-tcp tarball and install it:
# cd /usr/sources # tar xzvf ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar # cd ucspi-tcp-0.88 # make # make setup check
It puts itself into /usr/local/bin.
Finally, fetch and install djbdns:
# tar xzvf djbdns-1.05.tar.gz # cd djbdns-1.05 # make # make setup check
It puts itself into /usr/local/bin.
daemontools is a suite of utilities for managing services. You’ll see supervise, multilog, and svstat. supervise automatically restarts services if they die unexpectedly. multilog is a nice log manager that automatically rotates log data, so that logs don’t consume your disk space and you always have fresh data. svstat tells you the status of a service.
uspci-tcp takes the place of inetd and xinetd, for running djbdns and other Dan Bernstein programs. You don’t have to do anything other than install it.
djbdns is a suite of DNS programs.
