The problem seems to be with the directories /var/run/lwresd and /var/run/named. Please check their permissions.
permission are as follow! ls -la /var/run/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 Oct 1 11:20 named drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 Sep 29 09:31 lwresd -- drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 Oct 1 12:21 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Oct 1 12:32 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 6 Oct 1 12:21 named.pid -rw------- 1 bind bind 102 Oct 1 12:21 session.key sy5tem@isp:~$ ls -la /var/run/lwresd/ total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 Sep 29 09:31 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Oct 1 12:32 .. -- -rwxr-xr-x 1 bind bind 77 Aug 29 2011 /etc/bind/rndc.key ------- is lwresd required? was it ever suposed to work? my server dns seem's to be working.... still this is scary
