Hi, Okay, not fully fixed after reboot... apparmor gave problems as previously discussed on the list.
Also needed to adjust: /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.named Added a line: /var/lib/named/** rw, Then restarted apparmor service: service apparmor reload And then bind would start properly, immediately and again after another reboot. Should it be all good now? Thanks A.
