You can (should?) start named in the /etc/rc.conf file. Within the "Network daemon (miscellaneous)" section, you can put in: named_enable="YES" # Run named, the DNS server (or NO). named_program="/usr/sbin/named" # named program, in case we want bind8 instead. named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.conf" # Flags to named (if enabled). Where you put the name & path of your named.conf file in place of mine above. As for your other items you want to stop, you can write a small start-up script and place it within /usr/local/etc/rc.d which is where your start-up scripts go. Odds are if you look in that directory you'll find some other files there that might give you a hint on how to set up the script.
