Description Dieter Jurzitza 2006-02-27 08:41:01 UTC
After configuring and testing named (bind) it works flawlessly.
During reboot, it is started but somehow stopped again immediatly. Then, after boot, one can call /etc/init.d/named start and everything works fine.

I resolved this by entering a delay into /etc/init.d/named:
--- named.original      2005-03-19 22:24:12.000000000 +0100
+++ named       2006-02-26 20:19:58.000000000 +0100

 case "$1" in
     start)
+       sleep 10
        echo -n "Starting name server BIND "
        checkproc -p ${NAMED_PID} ${NAMED_BIN}
        case $? in

based on the sleep 10 (is heuristical) the boot process is working as expected. Named is running after boot. My assumption: this problem is related to the starting smpppd for the Fritz-Card DSL I am using.

When putting the start of named as last entry into the list of started processes (S22named -> ../named in my case) I get the following error message (which surely is related to the problem)
Starting name server BIND startproc: signal catched /usr/sbin/named Hangup
Whoever or whatever is initiating this.

Dieter: SUSE Linux 9.3 is not supported in that fashion (in this open bugzilla). File bugs for versions beginning from 10.0 only. You can write a mail to ug@suse.de (Uwe Gansert) about this.
