How to add BIND DNS server to startup in Red Hat?
 

I just downloaded, compiled, and install the latest BIND 9.2.3

now I would like to put a script in my /etc/rc.d/init.d folder, but I don't have a script. Where can I find the script or how do I create one?

Thanks.

You can add your command via /etc/rc.d/rc.local it will automatically start... same goes with the script if wanna make one...

you can type the comand "ntsysv" and select ths daemons you would like
to make it active in startup

howzit

other places to activate services are setup , chkconfig.

look in /etc/rc.d/init.d service names will be the following

bind= named

The problem is that I'm using Red Hat Enterprise which doesn't come with bind pre-installed, so I had to install it manually. The only problem is, it didn't come with a script so I have nothing to put in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory.
