I haven't ever needed to install or configure DNS on red hat before but I
believe you can install the bind dns server from the red hat repositories.
You would do this on RH v.4 with the up2date tool. up2date -i bind or
whatever it is. The Red Hat package will have a init script to start/stop
the service. If for some reason you need/really want to use your own build
of bind and it doesn't include a init script, you can just copy one of the
existing init scripts for another service and change the appropriate info to
make it applicable for DNS. If your new to starting and stopping services
on RH you'll want to read the ma pages for chkconfig and service.

Good luck.

Hi Vivek,

You mean after you compiled and installed bind, you could not find "named" under /etc/init.d also Service names start/stop/restart doesn't work?

Well, even though i am not sure, may be i can suggest a immediate workaround. why don't you extract a startup script from the most near/recent rpm below, your current bind version, and do the modification.

Since its latest, may be some other issue/bug, which i am not sure.Also i am not sure, with what options you compiled!

Also after this workaround look at whether each and every individual files mentioned in the script is present.

Also may be you have to create the .pid file manually!!

is installed properly .. the startup script should be there

Or you can try the following command once ...........

I installed a firewall and want to make sure it starts up in the right place on reboot.

These are the instructions I am getting from the Firewall Builder site, they have nothing for Kubuntu...

The universal method is to put generated script in
/etc or /etc/firewall directory and add a line at
the bottom of script
/etc/rc.d/rc.local (Mandrake and
RedHat) or /etc/init.d/boot.local
(SuSE) like this:

/etc/firewall/firewall.fw

This way, firewall script runs when machine executes
boot-time scripts. The name of the file is the same
as the name of the firewall object in Firewall
Builder GUI, with extension ".fw". So, if
firewall object name is guardian, then
fwbuilder puts generated policy in the file
guardian.fw.

What is the most secure process to start up at boot time?

Thanks,
Jim

I don't know your version and if there is any change.
On my Feisty I don't have /etc/rc.d/ but only rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d... in /etc/

You could put the line to run the script in /etc/rc.local. This is the
default rc.local:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

exit 0

I was going to put it in ther but, I want to be sure the Firewall starts at the right time, I remember reading somewhere that if it doesn't the Firewall won't be aa secure..
