SUMMARY: Bind: Growing file named.run

<Original posting below>

Hi agn,

wow, that was FAST! 1 minute after I saw my mail popping up in my mailer, I
got a response and the solution!

I started named in debug mode 'cause of some problems, and forgot to disable
debugging afterwards...

Special thanks go to

candace.ordaz-MGvH8Z7ok49Wk0Htik3J/[email protected]

for the fast and good response!

His reply solved the problem immediatly, here's what he wrote:

===================/snip/==============================
In my experience, the only time this file is created is when debugging is
turned on when you start it.  You can stop writing to it by sending a kill
-USR2 <named pid> and then look to see if you are starting it with -d.
=================/snap/================================

Thanks agn for the fast solution!

Have a nice hackin',

Harald
