Hello, I have found and resolved the same bug in my debian squezze (Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 03:40:32 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux )
I received* connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused* when i tried to restart the bind9 deamon: *root@Kaio:/etc/bind# invoke-rc.d bind9 restart* *Stopping domain name service...: bind9rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused* *.* *Starting domain name service...: bind9.* looking at the logs i found: *cat /var/log/daemon.log * *3 04:52:11 Kaio named[6619]: none:0: open: /etc/bind/rndc.key: permission denied* *Mar 3 04:52:11 Kaio named[6619]: couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: permission denied* *Mar 3 04:52:11 Kaio named[6619]: none:0: open: /etc/bind/rndc.key: permission denied* *Mar 3 04:52:11 Kaio named[6619]: couldn't add command channel ::1#953: permission denied* the original permissions set on the rndc.key file were: *root@Kaio:/etc/bind# ls -lah rndc.key * *-rw-r----- 1 root root 77 Feb 27 07:12 rndc.key* The resolution of this bug can be accomplished by changing the file's owner: *root@Kaio:/etc/bind# chown bind:bind rndc.key * * * *root@Kaio:/etc/bind# ls -lah rndc.key * *-rw-r----- 1 bind bind 77 Feb 27 07:12 rndc.key* and finally *root@Kaio:/etc/bind# invoke-rc.d bind9 restart * *Stopping domain name service...: bind9.* *Starting domain name service...: bind9.* NOTE: The o *rndc.key * was not created/modified by me. it was creted automatically when i installed bing9 apt-get. *root@Kaio:/etc/bind# cat /etc/apt/sources.list* *# * * * *# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20110205-14:31]/ squeeze main* * * *#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20110205-14:31]/ squeeze main* * * *deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main* *deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main* * * *deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main* *deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main* * * *deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main* *deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main*
