pkg-message: #

For install:: To run nsd from startup, add nsd_enable="YES" to your etc/rc.conf Starting with nsd version 4 the old nsdc control program has been replaced by nsd-control. This requires some manual setup with nsd-control-setup and editing of the config files. nsd-control is incompatible with nsdc so when that is used in scripts, these should be adapted
