Hi,

Have you set the NAMED variable to 1 in the following file?

/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

[Duncan Edmonstone]

you probably have some junk files in the /etc/rc.config.d directory. There should only be the startup configuration files in this directory - no backups or copies of files, and no junk files.

The following code snippet should help you find the offending file:

ls /etc/rc.config.d/* | while read fname
do
echo ${fname}: \c
. ${fname}
done 2>&1 | more

You should see the name of each file in /etc/rc.config.d and any errors it produces...

I think Duncan got it. Line 74 in /sbin/init.d/named is ". /etc/rc.config" which is sourcing all the config files in /etc/rc.config.d. So check if there are any copies or backup files in /etc/rc.config.d and delete them.

If you don't find any extraneous files in /etc/rc.config.d then look in the /etc/rc.config.d/syslogd file. It is the only file that contains a "-D" as an option setting. Check the syntax and fix it as needed.

Getting the same error for some other script in init.d also

[Duncan Edmonstone]

which just confirms that its a rogue file or rogue entry in a file in /etc/rc.config.d/

did you run the code snippet I posted above? that should find the probelm for you...
