[ILUG] Trouble starting named

[Alan Sobey]

I'm having trouble starting named from a vanilla SuSE 6.3 box.  I think I've
narrowed it down to the following:
The symlink to ../named doesn't appear to execute.  Any ideas?

jira:/sbin/init.d/rc2.d # ../named status
OK
jira:/sbin/init.d/rc2.d # ./S11named status
jira:/sbin/init.d/rc2.d # ls -l S11named
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            8 Jan 29 12:12 S11named -> ../named
jira:/sbin/init.d/rc2.d # ls -l ../named
-rwxr--r--   1 root     root          731 Nov  8 20:26 ../named

TIA,
Alan.
