bind dns 9.2 startup problems

[Joe Kattner]

It seems that you never removed the Solaris named which is started from
/etc/init.d/inetsvc by default. ndc is used by BIND 8.x, rndc by BIND 9.x.
If you built named from source you should not have 'in.named', it would be
'named'.

You need to edit the inetsvc to start the correct version. The messages are
self-explanatory, you are trying to load multiple instances, and it fails
because an earlier instance is already bound to port 53.

hi there,
   I am having some problems with bind version 9.2. The thing is my
whole configuration works and the DNS resolution works perfectly but
when I stick a script to startup at boot time it gives me a list of
messages

named[259]: ctl_server: bind: Address already in use
          : There may be a name server already running on
[127.0.0.1]:53
          : There may be a name server already running on
[192.168.1.2]:53
          : There may be a name server already running on
[192.168.1.3]:53
          : There may be a name server already running on
[192.168.1.4]:53

Now the 192.168.1. addresses are the only ones for which I am doing a
name resolution.

When the whole machine boots up after a long time, I did a "ps -ef |
grep named" and it gave me a below list of 2 in.named processes.

 #ps -ef | grep named
 root   213     1  0 08:06:10 ?        0:00 /usr/sbin/in.named
 root   263     1  0 08:14:14 ?        0:00 /usr/sbin/in.named
 root   346   340  0 08:14:51 pts/2    0:00 grep named

Now when I do a ndc stop manually - I still see one process -

# ndc stop
Shutdown initiated.
# ps -ef | grep named
    root   263     1  0 08:14:14 ?        0:00 /usr/sbin/in.named

So my question is how do i shut down this invalid process and make
sure that it doesnt happen. Also what is the reason for the messages
that are coming at boottime.

Thanks b4 hand.
