# PROVIDE: named
# REQUIRE: SERVERS

named=YES               named_flags=""

. /etc/rc.subr
. /etc/rc.conf

thats the start of my current /etc/rc.d/named , set up that way so rc.conf
overrides the individuals (though i am working on a program to try provide/set
this info for me so i could type rcconf check /etc/rc.d/named and be told if it
would run or not and rcconf enable /etc/rc.d/named to enable it whereever it
is currently set (in my case /etc/rc.d/named in others cases maybe /etc/rc.conf)

but anyway i got off track there. if you move it to read:

. /etc/rc.subr
. /etc/rc.conf

named=YES               named_flags=""

then the flags in the file override /etc/rc.conf so my named manager with rights
to /etc/rc.d/named can only change it.
