NAMED Service Not Stopping
 

Hi,
I was trying to configure BIND DNS server on my server and it didn't work. I went to the service configuration and clicked the stop button to stop the service and this is what it gave me.

number of zones: 4
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is OFF
server is up and running

This is after I have clicked the stop button and opened and closed the service window a couple of times. Does this mean that the DNS daemon is still running? Can anyone tell me anything else I can do to stop the service if it still is running?

By the way, I am running Red Hat Linux 9
Thank you,

As root you should be able to issue the command "/etc/init.d/named stop", or it may be "bind", or "bind9" instead of "named". To turn it back on /etc/init.d/named start (again "named" may be something else depending on how the init scripts are setup just look in that directory and see)..

This didn't work, but I got it to stop by typing

Thanks for the help though!

Stopping named
 

I have spend lot of time before stopping named but no command was worked except "killall named". This was really very helpful to me. But I think named is not working properly.
