RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Levente Farkas 2010-08-11 09:18:05 UTC 
imho it's a bigger problem that currently it's not possible to stop named. ie i've got only:
----------------------------------
# /etc/init.d/named stop
Stopping named: .............                              [FAILED]
# ps axuf|grep named
root     13140  0.0  0.0 103148   808 pts/0    S+   11:03   0:00          \_ grep named
named    12493  0.0  0.5 240372 19900 ?        Ssl  10:52   0:00 /usr/sbin/named -u named
----------------------------------
the only way is kill -9.

It seems your named hangs in deadlock. Would it be possible to install bind-debuginfo package, attach named with gdb, run "t a a bt" in gdb prompt, open a separate bug for this issue and attach output there, please?
