[nsd-users] NSD does not automatically start on FreeBSD reboot

[Paul Hoffman]

No one's going to like the answer for this: the startup file is /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nsd, not /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nsd.sh. On FreeBSD 6, apparently the ".sh" is required to be seen on startup. I had not tested this earlier because the machine had been up for the better part of a year, and I only installed NSD a few months ago.

I have reported this to the NSD FreeBSD maintainer.
