Description Bart Smit 2015-01-19 12:08:41 UTC 
The system startup scripts require that anything they start will run as a daemon, but the default for pdns_flags (empty) is not forcing this. In a default config your system won't boot past pdnsd...

Compare this to the default for sendmail_flags which explicitly sets -bd to force daemon mode.

The proper default for pdns_flags would be "--daemon --guardian". This will also make good on the promise the docs make about running in guardian mode automatically when starting from system startup scripts.

made a mistake in the name. It's dns/powerdns (not pdnsd). Please reassign.

Closing. I'll create a new one.
