1. How can I achieve that bind is not started? If I kill the process
"/usr/sbin/named -f -u bind"   with  "kill -9 1227", it is
immediately restarted with a different process ID.
Use the standard systemctl commands to stop it, disable it, and mask
it. Or do as Greg Wollege suggested, and remove it.

2. Charles, in your proposal for adding to named.conf, what is the IP
"192.168.100.6"? Shall I replace it with the static IP of my computer?
Sorry I wasn't clear there. Yes, that is your computer's ethernet/WiFi
IP address.

3. I never did any changes to the default startup- and network
procedures in Debian. Why does the installation start both bind and
dnsmasq?
Because the people packaging them know *nothing* about what you are up
to. They assume (not unreasonably) that if you install their package
you must want to run it. but beyond that they neither know nor assume
anything.

The libvert packages require dnsmasq, so if you are running virtual
machines, that's how you got dnsmasq. I have no idea why you have bind9
installed.

Hallo,

the problem is solved. For those interested a short summary:

A year ago I tried to run pihole on my laptop. I found a tutorial and followed the steps described there and run a shell script. This script installed some programs and config files.

a) After deleting the package bind9 (see the hint above) and only dnsmasq was running, the error still occured.

b)  It turned out that dnsmasq was started by init.d    (you see I had migrated Debian several times to a newer version :-).

    I could stop the start of dnsmasq with "update-rc.d dnsmasq disable"

c)  However the error still occured. I then deleted all programs and config files related to pihole. Now it works!


Summary: I guess I should better install a fresh Debian and get rid of all old stuff which results from earlier tests and several old debian versions  ;-)

Thanks again for your help,

Michael
