I suspect that the bind9 service ought to be removed. Is that correct?
It looks like you (or someone acting on your behalf) created a local
instance of this bind9.service file, over 6 years ago.
I now remember that I did that - at a time when I was completely new to
Debian. Probably because I followed the instructions at
https://wiki.debian.org/Bind9#Debian_Jessie_and_later
Perhaps you
had been instructed that if you wanted to make changes to a unit file,
you were supposed to copy the whole thing to /etc/systemd/system/
and then edit that copy. (That is indeed ONE possible way to go about
it, but not the best way, usually.)
Indeed it is not. It seems I didn't know that at the time.
In any case, yeah, I'd get rid of that. Maybe move it to /root/ in case
you want to refer to it in the future, or whatever. Afterward, do a
"systemctl daemon-reload".
I'll do that. Should I then also remove the "Alias=bind9.service" line
from named.service?
And thanks for your help!
