+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #169416 +++

Description of problem:
The init script /etc/init.d/named insists on ${ROOTDIR}/etc/named.conf being
present, although this could have been overridden by the OPTIONS variable in
/etc/sysconfig/named (for instance, one may say -c /etc/myownbind/named.conf).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.2.4-2


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move /etc/named.conf somewhere else.
2. Adjust /etc/sysconfig/named to have OPTIONS="-c /the/other/named.conf"
3. Attempt to start named.
  
Actual results:
Bind won't start because /etc/named.conf isn't there.


Expected results:
The script should take into account the -c option and check for that file instead.

Additional info:
N/A

/etc/init.d/named

Here's the named initscript to fix this issue :
# cp named.init /etc/init.d/named
# chown root:root /etc/init.d/named
# chmod 750 /etc/init.d/named

The /etc/init.d/named script that fixes this issue is attached above .
It will be included in the next bind release for RHEL-4 (bind-9.2.4-11+) 
in RHEL-4-U3.
You can get the latest BIND release for RHEL-4 from:

Thanks. That was quick :-)

I can only see the i386 RPMS there. Can we have the SRPMS uploaded so we can
build x84_64 version ourselves?

In reply to Comment #3: 
   Sorry, some files were mistakenly removed from the web server due to quota 
   issues.
   There are now these versions of BIND for RHEL-4 available:
      http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/BIND/RHEL-4/9.2.4-10_EL4
         likely to be the next version in RHEL-4-U3, this has
         all serious ISC BIND 9.2.5 bug fixes backported
      http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/BIND/RHEL-4/9.3.1-4_EL4
         This is ISC BIND 9.3.1, with many new features over 9.2.4 ,
         which we cannot submit to RHEL-4.
NOTE: this particular bug is not fixed in either of the above releases -
you'd still need to use the /etc/init.d/named script attached to this bug
report to fix this issue. The fixed initscript will be submitted to 
bind-9.2.4-11+_EL4 / bind-9.3.1-5+_EL4 and made available on the same
http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/BIND/RHEL-4/ website shortly, and should 
be in RHEL-4-U3.

Thank you very much for your help! I will get those SRPMS and the init script
and roll our own from it.

BTW, I'm sure you mean RHEL-4-U2, not RHEL-4-U3...

-- Additional comment from jvdias on 2005-09-29 16:39 EST --
The binary RPMs for all platforms are built on our buildservers and available at
the above location - you do not need to 'roll your own'.
Use the init script  attached to this bug report for any BIND version.
Yes, I did mean RHEL-4-U3 - RHEL-4-U2 does not have any BIND update.


-- Additional comment from bojan on 2005-09-29 16:44 EST --
But if I want to have a clean RPM that doesn't need any external file copying
and includes that init script, I will need to roll my own. That's what I was
referring to.

Get the U2 v. U3 thing. I guess U2 has already been cut, so these come too late.
That's cool.

Looks good here.
