Hi,
When I start bind 9.16.x with systemctl I get:

Failed to start named.service: Unit is not loaded properly: Bad message.
See system logs and 'systemctl status named.service' for details.


I get no messages in the logs.
Systemctl status named.service says:
* named.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)
   Loaded: error (Reason: Bad message)
   Active: inactive (dead)


These messages are not very helpful, any ideas???

	Adrian
