Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 Beta, the "named" PID file has been moved from the BIND default location /var/run/named/named.pid to the new location /run/named/named.pid. In addition, the "session-key" file has been moved to /run/named/session.key. These locations need to be specified by statements in the "options" section of the BIND configuration: options { ... pid-file "/run/named/named.pid"; session-keyfile "/run/named/session.key"; ... };

Description Tomáš Hozza 2013-06-24 13:45:00 UTC
Description of problem:
Since F19 the named PID file has been moved from default location
(/var/run/named/named.pid) to new location (/run/named/named.pid).

If someone is using custom named.conf based on older Fedora (before F19),
then they need to add a pid-file statement into options section to point
to the new PID file location.

options {
	...
	pid-file	"/run/named/named.pid";
	...
};

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19

Actual results:
No documentation.

Expected results:
Release note informing about this change or it should be somewhere documented.

Additional info:
There is already F19 Bug #977191 cased by not informed user. Sorry for the late
Bug. The change was made by previous maintainer and I'm not aware of any
existing note warning about this.

Looks good.

Thanks a lot!

Lenka, please open new bugs for RHEL issues. One bug for the same issue and multiple products will make things difficult to track for all of us.
