It doesn't seem to matter if it's running > chrooted or not. i noticed the same behavior. it did not exit if named is running in foreground, started with "-f". it's also impractical as '/etc/rc.d/named' is using the HUP signal for the reload command which causes the process to exit silently. the named(8) manpage says in the SIGNAL section: [snip] In routine operation, signals should not be used to control the name- server; rndc(8) should be used instead. [snip] i tried 'rndc reload' and it's working and did not cause the named process to exit. maybe '/etc/rc.d/named' should be changed to use this as reload command. i have not looked deeper into this because my spare time is currently very limited. regards Joerg - -- The beginning is the most important part of the work. -Plato -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFB2CenSPOsGF+KA+MRAuu2AJ9cS1wJIhYw3SyhqQyjVy5EP5e1YACglMWt dMpKdIEqWEVjAB6CF7BoVbw= =4lP4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
