** Description changed: - i've just upgraded to 15.10, and have now found that the - /etc/defaults/bind9 file appears to be ignored. yet another package - broken by the adoption of systemd, it would seem. + [Impact] - >cat /etc/default/bind9 - # run resolvconf? - RESOLVCONF=yes + Server start up options set in /etc/default/bind9 via the OPTIONS + variable are ignored. + The fix is to have the systemd service file source that file and use the + given OPTIONS value. This is already being done in Ubuntu Artful and + higher. The fix here is the same. + + [Test Case] + + # install bind9 + $ sudo apt install bind9 + + # start it up + $ sudo service bind9 start + + # inspect the command line of the process: + $ ps fxaw|grep named|grep -v grep + 396 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/named -f -u bind + + # edit /etc/default/bind9 and include "-4" to the OPTIONS value so it looks like this: # startup options for the server OPTIONS="-4 -u bind" - > - >service bind9 stop - > + # restart bind9 + sudo service bind9 restart - >service bind9 start - > + # inspect the process command line again. Only the fixed version of the package will include the newly added "-4" parameter: + $ ps fxaw|grep named|grep -v grep + 17891 ?
