+NSD is being developed with the purpose of creating more diversity in the
+DNS landscape. Secondly we want to create a fast, modern, RFC compliant
+nameserver.
+
+NSD requires its own user in order to run securely. It is not advised to
+run services as root user without special reason.
+
+
+To add NSD user in system run as root:
+
+# groupadd -g 336 nsd
+# useradd -u 336 -d /var/lib/nsd -g nsd -s /bin/false nsd
+
+
+In order to run NSD during boot process, add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local :
+
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nsd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.nsd start
+fi
