Re: why every minute: "reload configuration /etc/postfix" - SOLVED

From: Andy Spiegl (spiegl+postfixbr-online.de)

I found the culprit: bind9 causes postfix to reload.

The whole problem is a combination with a watchdog that checks whether
bind is running correctly. It uses "rndc status" which seems to have
a bug in Debian 4.0:
  # rndc status
  rndc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libbind9.so.0: undefined symbol: isc_net_pton

As this test fails, it kills and restarts bind.
This happens every minute.

The only part that I still don't understand (but doesn't matter anymore):

   How are bind and postfix connected???

Thanks for your great help to all!
 Andy.
