rndc doesn't need to know where the pid is; it connects directly to named over the control port (953) to do its magic. Try running "rndc status" while named is running; if you get an error message complaining about midding rndc.conf or rndc.key files, you may need to configure that before rndc will work. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
