Hi -

It sounds like you may have an rndc configuration problem -
earlier versions of the named.init script could not stop
named without rndc . Try running 'rndc-confgen' and ensuring
that your /etc/rndc.key file is included in both named.conf
and /etc/rndc.conf.

Below is the current named initscript version used for RHEL-3,
which is similar to the version for FC-3 sent in previous post on
$subject, but without the SDB and SELinux stuff.

NOTE: you are recommended to at least upgrade to a later 
BIND version, if not a later OS (eg. FC-4) .
You can try installing the BIND-9.3.1 binary RPMs I built for
RHEL-2.1, which may work on RHL-9.0:
  http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/bind/RHEL-2.1
or building the bind-9.3.1-1_EL2-src.rpm with 'rpmbuild --rebuild'.

Let me know if you've any further problems -
