2. Unpack using gunzip and verify the cksum or md5sum:

1406468692 4225172 named_9.3.2_11.31IA
400611368 2269184 named_9.3.2_11.31PA

3. Stop the DNS server:

If named is normally started and stopped during system reboot, use this command: /sbin/init.d/named stop

If rndc is in use, from the managing server issue ths command: rndc stop

If not using rndc enter this command as root on the system running named: sig_named kill

4. Confirm that named is no longer running:

ps -ef | grep named
