I just had to reboot my machine and latest version of bind9 (bind9 @9.20.9_0) will no longer launch. Tried reinstalling on another machine and have the same problem. Looking at the contents of org.macports.bind9.plist file the program args have changed from;-
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" > <plist version='1.0'> <dict> <key>Label</key><string>org.macports.bind9</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/opt/local/bin/daemondo</string> <string>--label=bind9</string> <string>--start-cmd</string> <string>/opt/local/sbin/named</string> <string>-u</string> <string>named</string> <string>-f</string> <string>;</string> <string>--restart-netchange</string> <string>--pid=exec</string> </array> <key>Disabled</key><true/> <key>KeepAlive</key><true/> </dict> </plist> to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Disabled</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>Label</key> <string>org.macports.bind9</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/bin/sh</string> <string>-c</string> <string>/opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=bind9 --start-cmd /opt/local/sbin/named -u named -f ; --restart-netchange --pid=exec</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Could this be the source of the problem? Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks. Mark Lucas
