Hi all, after upgrading from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, bind9 receives "rndc reconfig" commands every 30 minutes. I've never seen this before. Some of my own scripts run "rndc restart/reload" after fiddling with network interfaces, but none of these is the source of the observed 30 minutes interval. There are also no cron jobs.
In the bind9 logs I see this: 24-Aug-2015 22:53:43.431 general: info: received control channel command 'reconfig' 24-Aug-2015 22:53:43.458 general: info: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf' ...

It's really annoying as it messes up the log with 350 useless lines every 30 minutes. Thanks!
