You should be able to restore the bind from base by using the install.sh script in /usr/src/contrib/bind9. Deinstall the

port first,

though.

ThanksI deinstalled the port and tried to run install-sh

# sh install-sh
and got the response:

install: no input file specified

Any chance you might make me a little wiser on how to use install-sh?\

as a separate piece of software, rather than integrated with the rest
of the system sources.

To reinstall bind from the FreeBSD source tree:

   * Check /etc/src.conf, /etc/make.conf and ensure that there are no

   * Simplest thing to do is then run through a buildworld cycle.  This
     takes a while and uses some CPU power but it's largely fire-ans-forget.
     Instructions are here:

         
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

   * If you're really in a hurry, then you can rebuild just bind etc.
     but this is less certain than the above.  The following is extracted
     from http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-09:12.bind.asc

          # cd /usr/src/lib/bind
          # make obj && make depend && make && make install
          # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/named
          # make obj && make depend && make && make install
          # /etc/rc.d/named restart

As the previous correspondent said, deinstall the port before doing this.
You should not need to recompile any other software because of this change
-- the shlibs generated should be interchangeable -- but you will need to
reboot to make sure that all the running processes are using the correct
version of the resolver functions rather than a memory mapped copy of the
old shlibs even after the actual file was deleted and overwritten.

        Cheers,

        Matthew

This advice -- to run install-sh -- is incorrect. install-sh there is straight from the bind distribution and assumes you're building it WITHOUT_BIND or WITHOUT_BIND_NAMED or other relevant flags set
