This is the service definition called "nameserver" the exports aren't 
checked - but doesn't seem to make a difference. There's no dial-up 
access.

okay so here's the package "Domain 4 year"  with one service, 
"nameserver" and all fee's set to zero

86 Domain 4 year Domain4 0 flat setup_fee 0 recur_fee 0 nameserver 1

not sure what you mean here. Selecting "new customer" from main menu.
There is no "Domain 4 Year" presented, Just the hosting packages are in 
the drop down menu
If I define a hosting package with "nameserver"  svc_type and a 
svc_acct type called staffplan, I get it in the drop down menu. I can't 
get a package with just a svc_domain type. It must also have something 
with a svc_acct type.

88 | Staff Hosting | free hosting accounts for staff | 0 |  0 | 0 |     
  |          |          | flat         | setup_fee=0 recur_fee=0    |    
       |

just get the error again and no rows in svc_domain. Maybe I should punt 
and erase everything and start over. I hate to punt.
