[ILUG] More info on this named strangeness

[Braun Brelin]

I did some more investigation.  I ran named with strace on as follows:

strace /usr/sbin/named -f -u named

strace shows that named gets to a sigsuspend system call and stops.  This
explains why the process is running but isn't accepting any connections.

Apparently, it's waiting on some sort of signal in order to continue, but
I dont' know what signal that might be or why it goes into sigsuspend() in
the first place.

If I do a /usr/sbin/named -g -u named, then the system works...
