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

BxBoy · 03-01-2004, 12:49 AM

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...

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.
