Disable named on Centos 7?

[accorn]

I wish to disable named on my directadmin install, since I host dns offsite.
I found these old instructions for centos 5/6:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=25

So I edited /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status and set named for OFF.
I then stopped and disabled the named service:
systemctl stop named
systemctl disable named

But when I restart my vps, the named process gets restarted.

Looking at the previous instructions I was supposed to put a fake script for /etc/init.d/named, but centos 7 doesn't have that.. so I dont' know if directadmin is still forcing it to start?

Anyone have an idea how I can stop it from loading the named process?

Thanks

Hello,

Shouldn't it be

systemctl disable named.service

?

systemctl disable named.service

The '.service' part isn't required
In order to properly disable named you probably have to edit /etc/systemd/system/named.service.

In order to properly disable named you probably have to edit /etc/systemd/system/named.service.

I'm not sure how I would edit it to disable it properly.
According to the old documentation (link above) I was supposed to edit /etc/init.d/named
and replace it with this:
#!/bin/sh
exit 0;

Therefor tricking directadmin that it still is "running" named when it's not.

But the new /etc/systemd/system/named.service is structured differently.

If anyone has an idea let me know.. otherwise maybe i'll just leave it running for now.

DA itself will still be trying to call reloads to named, so just leave it setup, but change it to be a "oneshot" boot script.
I've not tested it, but I've updated the guide with point 4) to address CentOS 7.

Let me know if you get any errors.
