How to start named at boot time

Vernon Brown_3 — Mon, 02 Sep 2002 16:40:22 GMT

I can start named from the command prompt but would like it to start at boot time. I know I could add the /etc/init.d/named start command to rc.local but suspect that it is normally started by one of the other start up scripts.

Can anyone give me a clue about which script normally starts the named DNS server.

Forgot to add I'm running RedHat 7.1 on an HP 8500 as my dedicated LAN server. It's running Apache in proxy mode and is the gateway for my LAN.

Hello,

Linux uses System V start/stop script method.

Therefore with RedHat, /etc/rc.d/rc.d/S..named and K..named should be created as symlinks to /etc/rc.d/init.d/named.

To do this automatically :

chkconfig --level 2345 named on

Good luck.
