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. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft Network Specialist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
