recient problem with bind en 7.4-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.4-PRERELEASE #1180:

2011-03-07 Thread Edwin L. Culp W.
Out of the clear, I can no longer start named from /etc/rc.d/named
start.  The only error message that I get is in log/messages

Mar  7 17:13:59 unixmania named[99841]: starting BIND 9.4.-ESV-R4 -u
bind -4 -t /var/named -u bind

named.root is in /var/named/etc/namedb and contains the same as my
bind 9.6 on current.  adding an ls to named.root

ls -l /var/named/etc/namedb/named.root /etc/namedb/named.root

-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel  3074 Jun 28  2010 /etc/namedb/named.root
-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel  3074 Jun 28  2010 /var/named/etc/namedb/named.root

I can't  find any major differences with this and 9.6 that works fine.

when I try to start it notes that it isn't running and isn't abel to start.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I am running

Unfortunately, I don't have any answers to this problem.  I only
know that the same thing happened to me when I tried to upgrade
from the older, no-longer-supported bind9-3

[My solution was to reinstall the older bind9 ]

I am running 7.3, altho that shouldn't make any difference... .
