Hi folks,
when I kill -HUP named on 5.3 (BIND 9), it exits, instead of reloading, as
stated in the manpage. Is this normal? I think it's rather impractical,
since it prevents proper log rotation through newsyslog.conf (when using
"file" logging in named.conf). It doesn't seem to matter if it's running
chrooted or not.
i noticed the same behavior.
it did not exit if named is running in foreground, started with "-f".
it's also impractical as '/etc/rc.d/named' is using the HUP signal for the
reload command which causes the process to exit silently.
the named(8) manpage says in the SIGNAL section:
[snip]
In routine operation, signals should not be used to control the name-
server; rndc(8) should be used instead.
[snip]
i tried 'rndc reload' and it's working and did not cause the named process
to exit. maybe '/etc/rc.d/named' should be changed to use this as reload
command.
i have not looked deeper into this because my spare time is currently very
limited.
regards
Joerg
