Am I the only unluck one or just blind in my searches.? I have installed RH9 and done all the updates, but if I were to run /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart It fails to stop the service, but will start the service. It does start the service on boot up (another thing to watch out for in the install, it does not start the service after the initial installation. Requires you to set it up to start on boot) I traced the problem to the function script, I can't figure out what the problem is. david -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
