rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: permission denied

On CURRENT, running on an APU as router/firewall service, out of the blue after an update
I receive this weird message when trying to restart "named" (BIND 9.12, latest from the
ports):

service named restart
rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953:
permission denied rndc failed, trying kill: Waiting for PIDS: 871.

Searching the net reveals that possible access rights issues could cause this problem,
but I do not see any. Does somebody see such problems, too and does have a solution?

Kind regards,

oh

Do you have a firewall rule that blocks sending to UDP port 953 on
127.0.0.1?

Hello.

Sorry for the very late answer.

Your hint was right! I changed some minor confiuration parts and didn't realise that I
dropped access granted for 12.0.0.1 in IPFW.

After reinstalling a propper rule everything worked as expected.

Thanks.
