Hi All: I installed 9.6.0 alongside FreeBSD7's default 9.4.2, and it's

Don't do that. :) The rc.d system is designed to be configured with
rc.conf. You probably want to do this:
grep named /etc/defaults/rc.conf >> /etc/rc.conf

Make sure that you only have one set of entries for named in
/etc/rc.conf and then make your changes there. You probably want to
uncomment the named_flags example for the -c option to named.

to:

    command="/usr/local/sbin/named -c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
but when I restart the server, the default 9.4.2 install in
/usr/sbin/named starts instead of the path to 9.6 above?

It's being overridden by rc.conf, which is how it's supposed to work.

Thanks for that detailed explanation, Doug...after years of running Unix/Bind blind (because it just worked), I'm finally understanding why things are the way they are. -AK
