      Also, do these need to be owned by the bind user? I'm not too familiar with how FreeBSD chroots work.

      [21.02-RELEASE][admin@hostname]/root: ls -la /cf/named/
      total 21
      drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  512 Apr 29  2020 .
      drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  512 Feb  8 12:43 ..
      dr-xr-xr-x  8 root  wheel  512 Feb 18 05:20 dev

      (I don't mean to double-post, but apparently if I make these posts too long they're "spam".)

        The permissions in these folders are real inconsistent, but setting them all to bind:wheel didn't help, either. Can't print out the text of ls -laR /cf/named, because that's spam!

        Forgot to mention earlier, but named-checkconf -t /cf/named /etc/namedb/named.conf doesn't return errors. Doesn't return anything, in fact.

          The problem seems to be with starting up named under chroot. I can't figure out how to restart named in the jail. I tried a number of things up it always fails. It doesn't appear to be able to work correctly unless it's running under bind with chroot /cf/named/etc/namedb/ but I can't seem to figure out how to start that up. Without the chroot it fails ...

              @wrgraves I can get it to run in the chroot -- named -u bind -t /cf/named -- and it starts just fine, but it doesn't like my conf file. I'm not getting permissions errors, and my logs are showing that the conf file is being parsed, but it's not throwing any errors. I think rather than get lldb/gdb installed on here to further troubleshoot that segfault I should just set up DNS/DHCP on a different box.

                @anthonypants Looks like '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/named.sh start' is suppose to start it up but no error messages and it doesn't start

                @viktor_g I'm a little overwhelmed by the submission process

                  @wrgraves Yeah, if you open up that script file, it says that when it's called to start the job, it'll check if named exists in the list of running processes (ps auxw), and if it isn't already running, it'll run the command /usr/local/sbin/named -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/. -t says it needs to run inside the chroot at /cf/named/, -c points to the configuration file it's going to use (also inside the chroot), and -u says which user it'll run as.

                  And my Redmine bug report is here, if you want to add your details.

                    could you try to re-save BIND configuration in the WebGUI and check again?
                    that can be related to https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7271

                      Without named running I could not re-save the config. I check and unbound is not running during this. Not sure how that might make named exit with a segmentation fault...
                      root@pfSense:~# dmesg | grep named
                      pid 72980 (named), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11
                      pid 48394 (named), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11
                      pid 9508 (named), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11

                      pid 35131 (named), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11

                      signal 11, also know as "segmentation fault

                        @viktor_g Modifying the BIND configuration via the WebGUI doesn't appear to do anything. Changing the unbound configuration to use port 8953 is a strange suggestion; no one in this thread appears to be seeing "can't bind socket" errors from unbound, and I can assure you that when named is segfaulting on my system, neither is unbound running, nor is anything using port 953.

                            Same issues here with Bind, I tried everything I could to get this running, I am running on a VM (VMware) Bind currently is NOT compatible with pfSense 2.5.0 period ! Just try to run Bind and rncd on a different port (under the advanced button on the main Bind config window in de web config, and try to run Bind or reinstall Bind and see what happens) I can hardly believe this package was tested on 2.5.0, of course an issue can happen from time to time with a major release, but I am struggling with the Bind control port for years. I did a clean install and restored my configuration, no show for bind what ever I do. It should run on 127.0.0.1 on port 953 and control port on 127.0.0.1 9953 in my configuration

                            Here the log when I try to start Bind:

                              So I rolled back to pfSense 2.4 because of Bind not working at all
                              I have the 2.5.0 Vmware VM still available so if I need to test something of provide logging or so, I will be ready to help

                                The same for me. Seems named is going to Segmentation fault if tried to start with -t(chroot).
                                Looking forward to a fix.
                                Roll back to 2.4

                                    In my case its saying after listening on IP interfaces in the log

                                    creating TCP socket: address in use

                                    like port 953 is already in use or so

                                      Might be a problem in our configs. Hope to have an extra box tomorrow night so I can build a fresh install and load my config sometime after that. I can't take down my failed box. Have uninstalled Bind and turned on unbound and switched to Bind on another box until this is resolved.

                                        FYI I already did a fresh install and restored my configuration, same problem

                                          @matthijs did bind work before you installed your config ?

                                            I have a working 2.4.5 VM running (with no bind problems), If I upgrade to 2.5 I have bind issues.
                                            I also did a fresh 2.5.0 install and restored my 2.4.5 configuration, in both situations I have bind issues
