Hi, I've been meaning to sort this out since the release of 7.1p5, but only=
=20
just got around to it - I have an installation of 7.1 that runs bind and ha=
s=20
been working fine up until I tried to update the system to 7.1p5 (using=20
freebsd-update). As soon as I apply the update & reboot, named loads but th=
e=20
startup script hangs.

If I press Ctrl+C, the system continues to boot. If I then run /etc/rc.d/na=
med=20
start, named starts, but again the script hangs. I can do DNS lookups while=
=20
named is running, so it seems to be functioning ok.
I tried adding various echo statements to /etc/rc.d/named and found that th=
e=20
script seems to run right through. The hang occurs where /etc/rc.subr echoe=
s=20
out "Starting named" after the named script has run and that's where things=
=20
seem to stop! Nothing else that is started by the rc.d scripts hangs, so I'=
m=20
guessing  /etc/rc.subr is ok.

I did a diff of /etc/rc.d/named before & after the upgrade from p4 to p5 (o=
r=20
p6 which has the same issue) and there are no changes to the file.
Nothing seems to be logged anywhere that shows a problem, so I really have =
no=20
idea what to check next.

The only named entry in rc.conf is named_enable=3D"YES". Doing a freebsd-up=
date=20
rollback restores normal operation and given that bind actually loads 7 see=
ms=20
to work apart fromthe hanging script, I suspect there's nothing wrong with =
my=20
bind configuration.=20

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
=2D-
Ian
