I think a few people have given the advise that you should look at the placement of your pid file. I don't know what the default is, but I have pid-file "/var/run/named/pid"; in my named.conf file. This ensures that I'm able to successfully run named as the bind user and the pid file is going to be where I expected it to be (it probably moved 20 years ago ;) ).
As I'm running named as user bind, then I need to write to /var/run as bind. I can't write to /var/run, because /var/run has root:wheel ownership and 755 protection. So you might need to: 1. mkdir /var/run/named 2. chown bind:bind /var/run/named 3. chmod 750 /var/run/named 4. stop named 5. rm /var/run/named.pid (if its still there) 6. start named I note that you received almost immediate suggestions from those concerned about the security of your systems, which is very comforting. :) Regards, Dewayne. PS I appreciate your frustraction, I think that the removal of expired ports is a little too enthusiastic On 3/05/2020 12:05 am, The Doctor via freebsd-ports wrote: > ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
