ctl_server: bind: Address already in use

[Matthew Thompson]

Nope - as standard the port named (bind) will try to use is 53 - which is
under 1024 and therefore not available to un privileged users - you may want
to try binding it to a different port if you're running tests or having
named launch from your rc.whatever file.

M at t :o)

That means that the port bind tries to bind to is already in use (by another
bind?). Can a non-privileged user bind a privileged port?
