Hi there,
1. you should add a line in your /etc/named.conf file, ine the options
section:
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
2. the other solution would be to patch the global.h file from the sources
and change the default line /run/named.pid file into something else.
The problems is the something else part. Indeed, you'll have to specify
a directory option for bind, for example directory "/var/named/";
Otherwise, bind will assume that the the directory is ".", the
directory from which one started bind. In that case, bind will look
after a pid name file in /var/named/run/named.pid.
Maybe we could create a directory /var/named/run and put here the the pid
files, but this is not standard.
The first solution is the best one, I think.
any comments are welcomed.
