Package: bind Version: 4.9.3-BET-1 >From time to time, named didn't start when booting. After some search, I've found that it was when fsck checked the disks. The problem was caused by the code in ndc which checks the presence of named: it checks only the presence of a process with the PID in /var/run/named.pid. So I suggest to change the line 19 of /usr/sbin/ndc
PS=`ps -p $PID 2>/dev/null| tail -1 | grep $PID` by PS=`ps -p $PID 2>/dev/null| tail -1 | grep named` so that only a process called named with the right PID will cause ndc thinks that named is running. -- Jean-Marc Bourguet PS: Please, send any related mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as this system is not correctly set up yet (The reply-to field is correctly set).
