6. The oddity common to both is that although BIND9 is
up and running..
/etc/init.d/bind9 status
bind9 is running.
.. and it's doing zone transfers, the BIND Webmin 1.570 module doesn't
seem to think that it is. Instead of the usual options to
Apply configuration
or
Stop BIND
.. there's
Start BIND
instead. Does anyone else use Webmin?
Ah ha. Having found
<http://forums.rimuhosting.com/forums/showthread.php?t=498>, it appears
Webmin is looking in the wrong place (and despite having had an upgrade
in the last few days, the
webmin.com version at least is still doing it
a year or so after Squeeze's release!)
Editing the pid_file line in /etc/webmin/bind8/config to
pid_file=/var/run/named/named.pid /var/run/named.pid
works.
Fortunately, I don't seem to have had the other problems mentioned there.
