Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask you help with bind after a recent OS upgrade (from
an old 4.3-STABLE to 4.5-REL-p3).

Mergemaster was run after the upgrade.

Bind is started by rc with -u bind -g bind using the standard password
entries for user bind. 

It runs ok but won't respond corectly to restart or reload commands
(/usr/sbin/named.restart etc) and logs ,

Apr 26 12:38:00 wins named[22746]: reloading nameserver
Apr 26 12:38:00 wins named[22746]: setrlimit(max number of open
files): Operation not permitted
Apr 26 12:38:00 wins named[22746]: Ready to answer queries.

It seems to me that the only way I can get it to respond to
restart/reload commands is to

. run named as root
. use the files option in named.conf and set it to a low number

There is __no__ problem if I run named as root or with the files option.

For reasons I cannot explain, changing /etc/login.conf to have an entry
for bind with tc=root, does not help.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
