(re)start bind with /etc/init.d/named start Actual Results: status report of init script says [OK] Expected Results: status report should report something like [!!] the bind version I have: 9.2.2-r2 emerge info: Portage 2.0.48-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 i586 Pentium MMX GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.linux.no/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 3dnow apm crypt libg++ libwww mad mmx ncurses nls spell xml2 zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline gpm tcpd pam ssl perl python imap sasl -oss -arts -avi -cups -encode -gif -gtk -imlib -java -jpeg -kde -gnome -mikmod -motif -mpeg -oggvorbis -opengl -pdflib -png -qt -quicktime -sdl -svga -truetype -X -xmms -xv" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-mmx -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-mmx -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
