Cool!  Thanks for your response.  We are not using debian, yet, but I do see
us having to support it down the road in the next few months.  Nice to know
that an alien export of the RPM worked smoothly :)

The startup file isn't right for Debian, either.   I added:

# --- these are Red Hat -- don't use --Source function library.
#. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
#
# Source networking configuration.
#. /etc/sysconfig/network



# Check that networking is up.
#[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
#
# --- these are redhat -- end
PIDFILE=/var/run/networker.pid
NSRDIR=/usr/sbin
NAME=nsrexecd
DAEMON=$NSRDIR/$NAME
ARGS="-s tapes"
[ -f ${DAEMON} ] || exit 0
  # See how we were called.

case "$1" in
   start)
      # Start daemons.
             echo -n "Starting networker: "  start-stop-daemon --start
--quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE -m --exec ${DAEMON}
                                   ;;
   stop)
         # Stop daemons.
         echo -n "Shutting down networker: "
         start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --name $NAME --oknodo --exec
${DAEMON}
         rm -f $PIDFILE
         echo
         ;;
   status)
         # look for PID file
         if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
                 echo  "<$NAME> appears to be running"
         else
                 echo  "<$NAME> does NOT appear to be running"
