Comment 0 for bug 1565060

i've just upgraded to 15.10, and have now found that the /etc/defaults/bind9 file appears to be ignored. yet another package broken by the adoption of systemd, it would seem.

>cat /etc/default/bind9
# run resolvconf?
RESOLVCONF=yes

# startup options for the server
OPTIONS="-4 -u bind"
>

>service bind9 stop
>

>service bind9 start
>

>ps -aefwww | grep -iF named
bind 3810 1 17 15:32 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/named -f -u bind
>

modifying /lib/systemd/system/bind9.service works, but this does not seem to offer the same degree of abstraction provided by the files in /etc/default/.

1] >lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 15.10

2] >apt-cache policy bind9

3] i expected to be able to be able to make changes in /etc/defaults/bind9 and have them honored.

4] they are not.
