I finally got this working.  In another HOWTO,  I found a mention of what
to enable in order to get /proc/sys working,  so I went back and
recompiled the kernel with that enabled.  (One tricky part of the process
is that I've been compiling the kernel on a different system than what I
use it on.)  However,  I still couldn't connect.

It turned out that I had 'named' set up to only accept connections from
localhost.  I just had to change two lines and now everything works fine.

Linux is cool, once its working.
