Hi, I'm not sure the capabilities error is the cause of bind9 failing to start up. In 9.16.3 upstream says this is just a spurious log message what was silenced in that release:
https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.16.3/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.16.3.html """ When running on a system with support for Linux capabilities, named drops root privileges very soon after system startup. This was causing a spurious log message, "unable to set effective uid to 0: Operation not permitted", which has now been silenced. [GL #1042] [GL #1090] """ Do you have more log entries? Maybe the real failure is listed further down. ** Changed in: bind9 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886528 Title: BIND9: unable to set effective uid to 0: Operation not permitted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1886528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
