If Debian handling of daemons has changed, then the change is debian specific, it doesn´t make it a bug for all distributions. Last I checked if I run: apt-get install bind9 -> bind9 will start automatically. Or for that matter also apache2 or.... The init scripts we deliver are "as generic as possible", it doesn´t mean that they fit everything everywhere. And then again, expressing an order is correct. If "Required-Start" behavior in Debian is different than in other distro (I can speak for Fedora/RHEL here), then clearly there needs to be some distro specific "tuning". Fabio
