Also, when you do a Ctrl+C to break the named script on bootup, i= t=20 says "Script /etc/rc.d/named interrupted". Something I've just realised is that named stays loaded even when you 'brea= k'=20 the script. on bootup and DNS lookups work (I didn't think that was the cas= e=20 originally, but it is).
