Log in via SSH and run:

# rpm –qa | grep bind

If you see ‘bind-chroot-9.2.4-16.EL4’ in the list, this should fix it.

To fix the problem, run:

# rpm -e bind-chroot
# /etc/init.d/named start

You will also want to make sure that 'bind-chroot' is added to the package skip list:

# up2date-config
- Option 20
- Type in “bind-chroot”
- Hit enter twice to save and exit.
