Thanks but it didn't work. I get the following error, which you may be able to shed some light on (and I am running this as root from a standard terminal)
# /etc/init.d/named stop Stopping named: rndc: connect failed: connection refused [FAILED] Also I can't see the named daemon in top or ps, but I can't start or restart it either. It is definitely installed and the Master runs properly (the slave is not).

If you `cd /etc/init.d/` and then `ls` you can see all of the good stuff. Also `setup` will give a nifty UI for this stuff. If all else fails you can kill any process with `kill [process id]`, the Process ID can be found with `ps -e`. Or you can try my favourite "kill `pidof named`" (no quotes!). /B ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Francis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 18:07 Subject: Starting and stopping bind Hi, I am a long time Windows systems administrator and developer who is moving to Linux - so treat me as a newbie. :) I cannot restart or stop bind on either of my two DNS boxes both running RHL 8. I have tried command line and the Services Manager GUI. Both fail. Other services such as iptables work like a charm. What is wrong with the following line to stop bind? /sbin/service named stop Any help would be appreciated, Rob -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
