Bug 10609 – /etc/init.d/named stop doesn't work

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alberto Ornaghi 2002-11-11 19:10:10 UTC]

doing a /etc/init.d/named stop  results in a [!!!] error message.
I've figured out that the start-stop-daemon is not working properly because the
presence of "--pidfile $PIDFILE".

my patch was to replace the --pidfile with "--exec /usr/sbin/named".

now I can start and stop the named succesfully.
is this the right solution ?

bye

It should work as designed, I'll look...but if u have it working for yourself
I'll mark the bug fixed as this is the only report of this :)

I've installed gentoo on another machine and the bug is still occurring.... I
can patch it by myself, but i want to know if I'm the only one getting this.

Check that you have /var/run/named/ ....

found the problem... in my /etc/named  there was incorrect definition of
named.pid path.

sorry for the waste of time.

Ok ... using gentoo 1.4rc2 as a base and adding bind in a chroot jail I get the same problem.
The cause is line 25 of /etc/init.d/named which has:

  PIDFILE="${CHROOT}/var/run/named.pid"

for the default setup of bind in the chroot jail, it shouls be:

  PIDFILE="${CHROOT}/var/run/named.pid"
