Package: pdns-tools Version: 4.0.3-1 Severity: important Tags: patch before any function in /etc/init.d/pdns is executed, the script checks if pdns is running by calling the function isrunning(). This function determines the status of pdns by sending pdns_control ping. however, pdns_control does not support a command named "ping". the correct command would be "rping". this renders the init script unusable. even on a systemd enabled system, the init script might still be used e.g. for generating statistics with mrtg.
here's my suggestion for a patch to fix the issue: $ diff pdns.orig pdns 56c56 < doPC ping > /dev/null --- > doPC rping > /dev/null PS apologies, for whatever reason my reportbug insists filing this bug for pdns-tools. the affected package of course is pdns-server. some mod please adjust this for me... -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (750, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages pdns-tools depends on: pn libboost-program-options1.62.0 <none> ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0f-3 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18 pdns-tools recommends no packages. pdns-tools suggests no packages.
