Daemons ignoring /etc/default on Jessie with systemd

#1 Post by Pondlife »

With Wheezy and earlier Debian versions, many packages had /etc/default/package files which could be used to change the daemon options. I've just started using Jessie, and I find that many packages still supply /etc/default templates, but appear to ignore the contents. I think this is a side-effect of systemd.

Taking bind9 as an example, I have this in /etc/default/bind9: OPTIONS="-u bind -4"
But the -4 is ignored, as bind still sends IPv6 queries, and ps shows bind hasn't been passed the -4 option.

There are other packages like this as well. I'm wondering if this is intentional, and /etc/default is only for sysvinit scripts, or whether I should be reporting a bug against the affected packages.
