This looks like the bug I want to report. I find that shutting down bind9 is erratic: sometimes it succeeds, sometimes not. This is a common result of shutting it down at the command line: <code>brian@$ sudo service bind9 stop * Stopping domain name service... bind9 rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused</code> I need to send a break (usually with CTRL-C) to get past this.
I often have difficulty shutting down or rebooting my system, as it often hangs early in the process; bind9 seems to be among the first services to be shut down, so I suspect it is the root of that problem as well. I notice that Matthias pointed out that he is using IPv6 and dnssec. I am using an IPv6 tunnel and have configured bind9 for dnssec validation; I had purged and reinstalled bind9 in trying to troubleshoot this problem, and it didn't hang on restarts before I re-enabled dnssec validation. That was only a few restarts; with an intermittent problem, it's hard to be sure. I will try disabling dnssec validation for a few days and see if that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807153 Title: named does not shut down after "service bind9 stop" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/807153/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
