Re: Named not starting automatically

["David L. Martin" <dlmarti home com>]

Do this:
	cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
	ln -s ../init.d/named S45named

One powerup named will now be run.
The directory "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d" is used to keep track of what gets started
and stop with entering or leaving run level 5.
Everything that begins with an 'S' gets started when you enter run level
5.
Everything that begins with an 'K' gets stoped when you leave.
