CentOS 4.8, BIND 9.2.4 Hi All: I have a rather annoying problem with rndc which I have not been able to resolve despite much searching and many attempts to correct. When making changes to our DNS entries I have tried to use the following procedures: 1. Flush the cache buffers: rndc flush 2. Stop named: rndc stop 3. Delete the journal files: rm *.jnl 4. Edit the forward and/or reverse zone files as necessary. 5. Restart named: rndc start Everything works fine until the last command which fails with: rndc: connect failed: connection refused I can get around this by using "service named start" but I should not have to do this. Has anyone encountered something similar and can pass on some words of wisdom? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com
