That sounds strange. I may be wrong here, but my impression was that the only
way b10-auth would ever answer without the AA bit is when returning a
delegation. Are you sending it to the right server? If so, can you post the
query and the answer, to see what is happening?

You can either issue `Init shutdown` in bindctl, or just kill the „main“ process
of bind10 (`killall b10-init` would do). It'll bring down the rest.

You're not supposed to run these internal programs manually, they expect some
special environment passed from the b10-init that starts them.

Looking around, it seems to be possible to set the port on the bind10 command
line, but not the address, it seems forgotten. Would you mind opening a bug
about that one?

As a temporary (ugly) workaround, you could rename the b10-cmdctl script and
create a shell wrapper instead, something like:

#!/bin/sh

exec /the/renamed/cmdctl -a 0.0.0.0 "$@"

With regards

If it works, fix it.
