named shuts down

[Peter Rose]

Thanks for the information, guys  -

I'm running on RedHat 6.1 (in the background)

Here's the startup message:

Jan 15 20:50:32 server named[5258]: starting.  named 8.2.2-P7 Fri Nov 10
11:12:5
3 EST 2000 ^Iprospector at porky.devel.redhat.com:/usr/src/bs/BUILD/bind-
8.2.2_P7/s
rc/bin/named

So I guess Mark's point about this version being known to SIGTERM itself
could be relevant.

If this is just an isolated incident, I'd maybe assume this is what has
happened. I shall turn on the debugging for a while and see what
happens:-)

Should I be upgrading to a later version of BIND?

Thanks again
