This is just a badly-worded status message. Read it as "server is DONE lo=
ading its configuration" rather than
"server WILL NOT load its configuration".

Note that the last log entry was from "inetd" not "named", and occurred w=
ell after the "Ready to answer
queries" entry which marks the end of the initialization. "bind" in this =
case refers to the bind() library
call, not BIND, the DNS package. See the bind() man page for more details=
 on the library call (in section 3
or perhaps some variant like 3N or 3XN, depending on your system). Appare=
ntly something was already listening
on the "auth" port when inetd tried to listen (i.e. issue a bind() call f=
ollowed by a listen() call) on that
port number. Short of a reboot, you'll most likely get this log entry eve=
ry time you reload or restart inetd,
because there's probably a stuck process which is holding onto that port.
