I tested the patch and it doesn't work for me, at least on wheezy with openvpn 2.2.1-8 and bind9 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu2
(The comments below are relevant _using_ the patch above.) My problem is that openvpn starts *four seconds after* bind9 has started. The order of the init scripts is not to blame, it says openvpn starts before bind9: # ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S*|egrep "(bind|openvpn)" lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 22 13:41 /etc/rc2.d/S02openvpn -> ../init.d/openvpn lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 23 10:17 /etc/rc2.d/S03bind9 -> ../init.d/bind9 Adding a "touch /tmp/blah" to the top of each of these scripts reveals that openvpn always starts after bind9, so there must also be a dependency problem. I expected to fix this by editing /etc/init.d/bind9 and changing: # Required-Start: $remote_fs to: # Required-Start: $remote_fs $all but this didn't help. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
