What were you trying to do?

	Use the splufty ndc script.

What's wrong:

	It doesn't think named is running.  Probably because it sets
	the PIDFILE to /etc/named.pid instead of /var/athena/named.pid

What should have happened:

	It should have let me perform a virtual cornucopia of name
        server administration commands.  Stats, databases, tracing,
        reloading ... you name it!  You know what I always say: "If it
	can't be done with ndc, it's not worth doing at all."
