>Description:
The maradns pkg installs various programs, only one of which is "maradns".
The rc.d script only starts "maradns" - but for example an authoritative
name server needs to run "zoneserver" as well.
Even worse, the "maradns" program does not daemonize - but the rc.d script
ignores this fact, so the startup process will stop once maradns runs.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install maradns and try to use it or look at the maradns documentation
and read the script.
>Fix:
Remove the script - or do it correctly.
