17 His real problem isn't baselayout2 and openrc, it's named.

19 named is notorious for crappy stupid behaviour when being stopped and
20 confusing the init scripts. It happens to me so often that now I tossed out
21 the init script and do it manually.

23 One day when my country's currency is worth something I can afford ans then I
24 can get rid of named and it's start-up crap forever. It's still the only
25 service I ever have to use "zap" on
