Binary file on DNS [FreeBSD]
I already installed FreeBSD.and I got default bind(9.6).
I wanna install latest version(9.9),So i gonna remove 9.6 as follows:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/dns/bind96 && make install clean

This result:
Code:
bind96 not installed, skipping

I don't know why not installed.after that I ignore that and I install bind99 in /usr/local.
everything ok.
I check named version as follows:
Code:
/usr/sbin/named -v
BIND 9.6 xxx(something)

and
Code:
/usr/local/sbin/named -v
BIND 9.9.2-P1

after that i stop bind service and copy the new version to default path(bin).
Code:
cp -r /usr/local/sbin/* /usr/sbin/.

Default named version is the new version now.
But My problem has been happened here.
I cannot read zone file (db.example.com) It'll display as follows:
Code:
less db.example.com
"db.example.com "may be a binary file.  See it anyway?

so I read all file in /usr/local/sbin It's all binary files.
But before I copied the new version to default path(bin).
I still read zone file (db.example.com) It's not binary file.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance.

named-xfer(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     named-xfer(8)

NAME

       named-xfer - Pulls BIND zones from another server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/named-xfer  -z  zone_to_transfer  -f  db_file	-s  serial_no  [-d debug_level] [-l debug_log_file] [-t trace_file] [-p port] [-S]
       servers...

OPTIONS

       Specifies the name of the BIND zone for the named-xfer daemon to transfer, for example, dec.com. This option is required to  pull  a  zone.
       Specifies  the  name  of the file into which the pulled zone information is placed. This option is  required to pull a zone.  Specifies the
       current serial number of the SOA record for the zone zone_to_transfer.  If serial_no is set to 0, the zone is always pulled. This option is
       required  to  pull  a  zone.  Sets the debug level and determines the amount of debug information to be displayed.  Specifies the file that
       will contain any debug messages from the zone pull.  Specifies the file that will contain a trace from the zone pull.  Specifies  the  port
       that  will  be  used  instead  of the default name server port listed in /etc/services.	Performs a restricted transfer of only the SOA, NS
       records and glue A records for the zone. The SOA record is not loaded by named, but is used to determine when to  verify  the  NS  records.
       See named(8) for more information.  Specifies a list of Internet addresses, in dotted-quad format, from which to pull a zone.  If the first
       host cannot be reached, the named transfer daemon tries to pull the zone from the next host listed.

DESCRIPTION

       The named transfer daemon, /usr/sbin/named-xfer, is a server that is usually run by the named daemon, /usr/sbin/named, but it can  also	be
       run  manually  with  the  given	arguments.   The named transfer daemon runs on a BIND secondary server and pulls BIND zones from a primary
       server. This daemon is not run by default, nor can it be started up from inetd(8).
