A default installation does not have the file /etc/bind/rndc.conf present. Do you have it? Where did it come from? Try moving it out of the way. > And, it stopped immediately!

The /etc/init.d/bind9 script calls rndc stop and then waits, possibly forever, waiting for it to die. I was expecting the above not to stop the named but to produce errors that would identify the problem. I think you should examine and clean your /etc/bind/ directory as appropriate. From the warning above you have a /etc/bind/rndc.conf that may be causing problems. Bob
