We had an issue with the /etc/rc.d/named script this morning where it

encountered this before?

We are running 7.2 stable and bind 9.4.3-P3 on an AMD system.

First, please verify that you have the latest version of
/etc/rc.d/named installed.

Second, this could happen if the call in that script to rndc
succeeded, but for some reason rndc was not able to actually kill the
binary. In that case there should be something in the logs that
indicates what the problem is.


I'm running a current supported version of bind. It's the one that was included with 7.2 stable and has been patched.

The only thing I see in my logs is the icmp unreach message but that does not start until after the named stop command was issued.


kernel: Limiting icmp unreach response from 259 to 200 packets/sec


Currently we changed the way we run our restart script to do a kill -9 if all else fails. The /etc/rc.d/named script uses a kill -TERM if the original rcnd stop fails. In this case that wasn't enough.

Thanks for the input.
