Spent sometime around this error using chroot bind 9.x
couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: address in use
Guys, assuming your bind config is correct - this error is related to service "portserve" running and using this port!
ps -ef|grep portreserve|grep -v grep
root 1349 1 0 May06 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/portreserve
stop the service and disable from startup:
service portreserve stop
Stopping portreserve: [ OK ]
[root@WNS3 etc]# chkconfig portreserve off
