Part A: On my main gateway and mail server I had this strange problem rebooting the box. It hung after power management and portmaps. I couldn't debug it, and didn't see anything that was hanging it up. I was forced to reinstall the system, which really sucks, and after reinstalling, it did the same thing. It just refused to reboot past the same point. Part B: I needed to reboot the box in the first place because the networking went nuts. Does anyone know why ping would return illegal device access, or illegal instruction something like that? Part C: The box runs named with my own config files. But when I try to start it up from /etc/rc.d/ it fails and complains that it is missing the directory /etc/name.d or some such, which ISN'T in my named.conf file. How can I fix the /etc/rc.d/named script to stop this and behave right? Evidently there is a sysconfig variable involved. I eyeballed it, but I think I need to ask someone more familiar with how it is written
