BIND rndc showing different version

B

I have BIND version bind98-base-9.8.0.2 installed on FreeBSD 8.2 from the ports tree. However, when I use the rndc status command, it shows the version as 9.6.-ESV-R3.

My suspicion is that even though I installed BIND from the ports tree FreeBSD is still running the base installation of BIND. After running ps -ax | grep named it shows the daemon as running from /usr/sbin/named.

My question: how do I get FreeBSD to run the ports tree version of BIND at startup?

Set named_program to /usr/local/sbin/named in /etc/rc.conf or rebuild dns/bind98 with REPLACE_BASE set.

SirDice,

Thank you for your reply. I had suspected this fix from various Google searches. However, I do not have the path to /usr/local/sbin/named. This is what is throwing me off. I suppos I will try to rebuild using the setting you suggested. However, I need clarification: should I go to the ports tree and use make WITH_REPLACE_BASE install clean?

Is that the proper syntax?
