|
| freebsd 4.4-stable (almost a month old)
| bind 8.3.0-T2A and an 8.2.5
|
| four days ago, i started getting reports of unkillable axfr processes
| bigtime. while there seem to be no zombies, there are a lot of axfr
| kipple files left in this host's secondary directory.
|
| this is not happening on a server on a sibling host on the same lan.
|
| clues appreciated

While my answer might not be quite a clue, I had the same thing with one of my slave servers
here and couldn't figure out what the issue was. Killing and starting BIND didn't seem to help
much but a reboot did..pooh!
