rndc stalls on any command -- maybe because 127.0.0.1 is not in routing table?

2010-01-24 Thread Nicholas Tung
Hi all, The rndc tool, which is used for all BIND configuration (yast, /etc/init.d/named stop), appears to stall on any command. See [Listing 1] for output before it stalls (freezes not in the DNS zone sense) and [Listing 2] for afterwards. I used lsof to show the open files [Listing 3].

Thanks very much! $(ifconfig lo up) fixed the first problem. I'm curious why the init script relies on this socket connection, and that it got a timeout instead of immediate failure because the interface wasn't up. [For anyone who has the same problem], it's necessary to run $(killall rpcbind
