6275. [bug] Fix assertion failure when using lock-file configuration
option together -X argument to named. [GL #4386]
The support for control channel over Unix Domain Sockets has been
non-functional since BIND 9.18
+- Support for specifying ``lock-file`` via configuration and via the
+ :option:`named -X` command line option has been removed. An external process
+ supervisor should be used instead. :gl:`#4391`
+
+ Alternatively :program:`flock` can be used to achieve the same effect as the
+ removed configuration/argument:
+
+ flock -n -x <dir>/named.lock <path>/named <args>
