/etc/rc.d/nsd and rcctl doesn't stop or restart

[beiroot]

Hi Guys,
I'm setting up nsd on my openbsd 6.0 and I've found out that neither /etc/rc.d/nsd stop|restart nor rcctl stop|restart nsd works.

I also found out that both have the same problem not only with nsd. A person in obsd mailing list had the same problem, but left with no answer.

Moreover, when I kill the process manually and start it again I get nsd(failed) even though /var/log/nsd.log shows it stared ok.

Any ideas?

I don't use nsd, but could it be that you left remote-control disabled?

man nsd.conf:

"The remote-control: clause is used to set options for using the nsd-control(8) tool to give commands to the running NSD server. It is disabled by default"

The rc script uses nsd-control to stop the server.
See also the "Set up" section of nsd-control(8).

In the meantime I enabled nsd-control and the rc script started working. Thanks a lot for your help anyway

Unfortunately, now I get this:

error: connect (127.0.0.1@8952): Connection refused

Does this have to do with certificates?
