Description of problem: Sending bind a USR1 or USR2 signal (to increase/decrease debug output) kills it instead Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 9.7.2-5.P3 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run bind 2. killall -USR1 bind Actual results: bind dies Expected results: bind should increase debug level by +1 Additional info:
This doesn't seem like a bug for me. Per named(8) manual page: ... SIGNALS In routine operation, signals should not be used to control the nameserver; rndc should be used instead. SIGHUP Force a reload of the server. SIGINT, SIGTERM Shut down the server. The result of sending any other signals to the server is undefined. ... May I ask you where did you find SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 signals should increase/decrease debug output? `rndc trace` should be used instead.
Shoot, I'm showing my age here. Older named versions used SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to do the rndc trace function. Should the server die when receiving any other signal than the three defined? Seems like it should just ignore them instead. So, yeah, not a bug in that it's not supposed to do a debug change, but maybe it should ignore the signal altogether instead of die.

Well, other signals use their default signal handlers. SIGUSR* default handler is to terminate the running process (check `man 7 signal`) so they do what is expected. Closing as notabug.
