Named Won't Start, could not listen

[Peter Clutton]

Hi,
 

I know this question has been asked before, but I just can't figure out what
to do.

 

I am running FreeBSD 5.3 with Bind 8 (also tried 9) and get the following
errors when trying to start named

 

Creating IPv4 interface rl0 failed: interface ignored

Could not listen on UDP socket: address in use

 

Which goes on and on. Again I know it has been mentioned that it is trying
to make a new connection, which it can't do, and something about dropping
root, but I have no idea how to get it to work.

 

It is a new clean install, and I am running it as root.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.
