I even rebooted but no change. Even if named seems to work fine, the error msg is still there.

Thank you, Jerry for answering so quickly to my msg. I checked the status and it indicated that the server is up and running! But I still have the biding error in my /var/log/messages. Shall I worry about this? -- background --- When a server wants to listen onto a server, it first uses the bind(2) system call to bind the socket. If the socket is currently bound, the system call will fail.

If you see this message on system startup, then it indicates that you are trying to run more than one name daemon. You can stop the name daemon, wait a short time, then start it. You should not see that message. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
