Description of problem:
Please DON'T try to conver my configuration to the chroot model. Evey
time the automatic upgrades runs it shuts down my name servers. I want
you to leave the configuration alone and DO NOT RECONFIGURE MY SERVER.

This seems to happen with every upgrade. If I wanted chrrot I would
set it that way but I don't want it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.2.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.It just happens every time yum installs an upgrade
2.
3.

All you need to do is uninstall the bind-chroot package - then 
bind-chroot would not be updated by a yum upgrade; only if 
bind-chroot is installed before the yum upgrade will it be updated.

When bind-chroot is installed, it sets ROOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/named
to /var/named/chroot, and moves any BIND configuration files in 
/{etc,var/named} to $ROOTDIR/{etc,var/named} .

Neither bind nor bind-chroot ever modify any pre-existing BIND 
configuration files.

The caching-nameserver package does backup the BIND configuration
files to .rpmsave files and replaces them with files for a 
Caching Only nameserver. If you want to maintain your own modified
BIND configuration, backup your BIND configuration files and remove
the caching-nameserver package.

You say:
"Evey time the automatic upgrades runs it shuts down my name servers":
BIND, bind-chroot and caching-nameserver should always leave the 
server in the state it was in before upgrade; if named was running
before upgrade, it should still be running after upgrade, with the 
same chkconfig level status .  All bind upgrades must RESTART the
servers, since new libraries / executables are being installed - but
the state should be the same before as after the upgrade.
If this fails for you - ie. if named was running before the upgrade
and not afterwards - then please let me know - I've not been able to
produce any problems of this sort during upgrade testing . It would be 
most helpful in this case if you could re-do the upgrade with the
command:
   # rpm -Uvvv bind*.rpm 2>&1 | tee /tmp/bind-upgrade.log
and append the log file to this bug.
