Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.2.1-2.woody.1
Severity: normal

After installing a Debian system on a server, I installed BIND 9, as the system
in question acts as a name server. Attempting to use rndc to reload zones was,
however, not working.

Investigating, I found that rndc uses a control channel on tcp/953 to instruct
named to reload, and that on this system, lwresd was running, and had bound to
port 953 before named started. As a result, depite the fact that the bind9
package took some care to ensure that rndc would be permitted to connect to
the local nameserver, named never received the control signals.

I resolved this by simply removing the lwresd package, and adding an lwresd
service to my named.conf. Perhaps the bind9 package could be changed to conflict
with lwresd, but provide an lwresd service on machines that had lwresd installed
prior to the installation of bind9, or lwresd could be configured to not use
tcp/953 out of the box.

Mike.

Hi,

the bind9 bug list grew too much and the Debian BIND team cannot
simply test all the reported bugs against versions not in stable, so
this is mass bug close, as either the version is no longer relevant
(because of old-old-stable 9.8.x or old-stable 9.9.5 or even older
version of bind9) or the bug was already fixed.

However, if you can reproduce the bug with a current version in stable,
please use Debian BTS 'found <bug> <version_you_reproduced_the_issue>'
command to retag the bug and reopen it.

Cheers,
Ondrej
