+# Start/stop/restart the BIND name server daemon (named).
+
+# Start bind.  In the past it was more secure to run BIND
+# as a non-root user (for example, with '-u daemon'), but
+# the modern version of BIND knows how to use the kernel's
+# capability mechanism to drop all root privileges except
+# the ability to bind() to a privileged port and set process
+# resource limits, so -u should not be needed.  If you wish
+# to use it anyway, chown the /var/run/named directory to
+# the non-root user.
+#
+
+# You might also consider running BIND in a "chroot jail",
+# a discussion of which may be found in
+# /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Chroot-BIND-HOWTO.
+ 
+# One last note:  rndc has a lot of other nice features that
+# it is not within the scope of this start/stop/restart script
+# to support.  For more details, see "man rndc" or just type
+# "rndc" to see the options.
+
+
+# Sanity check.  If either /usr/sbin/named or /etc/named.conf
+# aren't ready, it doesn't make much sense to try to run this
+# script:
+if [ ! -x /usr/sbin/named ]; then
+  echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.bind:  no /usr/sbin/named found (or not executable); cannot start."
+  exit 1
+elif [ ! -f /etc/named.conf ]; then
+  echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.bind:  no /etc/named.conf found; cannot start /usr/sbin/named."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+# Start BIND.  As many times as you like.  ;-)
+# Seriously, don't run "rc.bind start" if BIND is already
+# running or you'll get more than one copy running.

+  # if you run it again.  So, after doing things the nice way
+  # we'll do them the old-fashioned way.  If you don't like
