$named is a virtual facility: http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/facilname.html $named: IP name-to-address translation, using the interfaces described in this specification, are available to the level the system normally provides them. Example: if a DNS query daemon normally provides this facility, then that daemon has been started. Please note that '$named' does not mean 'bind'. There are a number of packages with init scripts that have "Required-Start: $named" (cron, apache2, postfix to name a few), so having that certainly isn't a bug.
