Description of problem: Cannot see named failed to start when invoked by init Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):bind-9.5.0-11.a6.fc8 How reproducible:Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot system 2. 3. Actual results: Line "Starting named: [FAILED]" gets overwritten Expected results: Should be able to see "Starting named: [FAILED] Additional info: Problem can also be seen simply by invoking /etc/init.d/named start, and occurs when named fails to be started via the daemon function call. For some reason on my system, named will not start when invoked by /etc/init.d/named start, but if /etc/init.d/named is copied to /etc/init.d/named.new, then /etc/init.d/named.new start works. I am still investigating this. A patch file is attached that moves the echo command to ensure that a new line is emitted after a failure to start named.
Created attachment 187051 [details] Patch file to stop overwriting of failure messages of startup of named
Patch looks fine I will include it in next build. And about your problems (you use /etc/init.d/named.new instead /etc/init.d/named) - do you have SELinux in enforcing mode? Because if you start named with *.new I guess it has different SELinux context. Adam
fixed in 9.5.0-11.3.a6
