The --pidfile parameter to start-stop-daemon should be /var/run/named.pid not /var/run/named/named.pid At least based on where the named daemon is putting the file. Maybe named needs to be updated in it's compilation? Scott
Not sure, this we will have to ask Woodchip. I fixed this by adding to /etc/bind/named.conf: ---------------snip--------------------------- options { directory "/var/named"; pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid"; ............ } ----------------------------------------------
We now include a default named.conf file that will prevent this.
