>Description:
Add the following text to the bugs section:
BUGS
The ``REQUIRE'' keyword is misleading: It doesn't describe which daemons
have to be running before a script will be started, it describes after
which scripts a script has to be started. For example, if your script
has a ``REQUIRE'' on ``named'', it will start after the ``named'' script
has been started, even if the named-daemon itself hasn't been started.
