Note:

Do not manually start the named daemon. The named daemon should not be run on more than one cluster member or attempt to start multiple daemons on a singe host.

Running the BIND Startup Script

After enabling the BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 or BIND Version 8 server (Section : Enabling BIND), start the BIND server from the UNIX command prompt as follows:

1.Enter /sbin/init.d/named start.

2.Enter /sbin/rcinet start.

3.Reboot the system.

BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 will run on Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0A and later. Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B also provides the /dev/random device to provide entropy. The BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 tools provide an option to point to/dev/random. For example:

On V5.0A

ps auxw > /tmp/foo; rndc-confgen -r /tmp/foo On V5.1B

rndc-confgen -r /dev/random

Refer to the reference pages in /usr/share/man for more information about this option.
