The
.Dq Li REQUIRE
keyword is misleading:
It doesn't describe which daemons have to be running before a script
will be started.
It describes which scripts must be placed before it in
the dependency ordering.
For example,
if your script has a
.Dq Li REQUIRE
on
.Dq Li named ,
it means the script must be placed after the
.Dq Li named
script in the dependency ordering,
not necessarily that it requires
.Xr named 8
to be started or enabled.
