	Name server, sitting on a nice metal rack. =)

>Description:

   /usr/sbin/ndc loads /etc/sysconfig.  In 2.2.2, this file is /etc/rc.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:

  Set:
  named_enable="YES"              # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
  named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot"         # Flags to named (if enabled).

  in /etc/rc.conf

  do a "ndc start".

  named will not start since it can not find named.boot

  All references to variable in /etc/sysconfig are without an underscore.


>Fix:
	
 Change /usr/sbin/ndc to load /etc/rc.conf instead of /etc/sysconfig.
 Modify /etc/rc.conf and remove "_" in named_enable and named_flags 
 or ( better ) add "_" to all named variables in ndc.
