Bug#1828: bind ndc start failure
Package: bind
Version: 4.9.3-BETA24-1
We installed bind on a fresh system. We configured the nameserver and
wanted to start it, and tried `ndc start'. It complained about
/var/run/named.pid not existing. We tried /etc/init.d/bind start, and
nothing happened. On closer inspection, the `bind' script redirects
stdout from ndc to /dev/null.
There are, I think, two bugs here:
(a) `ndc start' should not fail if there is no pid file.
(b) `ncd' should produce error messages to stderr, not stdout.
Ian.
