bind 9.3.0 - startup script problems

[Billy K]

Hi Guys,

I installed bind 9.3.0 from source onto my Redhat 9 installation.  I find
that when I manually startup named by browsing the directory to
/etc/local/sbin and running named the service runs.

When the script runs at startup I find named does not get run despite seeing
it startup when linux boots with an [OK].  The first thing I do is run a
ps -aux | grep named and find the service is not actually running.

This is my script located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/named

Can someone please go over the secript and see why bind does not start.  By
the way by using the script I can stop the server and get status and a few
other things, just cannot start bind.

Thanks,
