BIND 9 ---> no /etc/named.conf file after installation
Hi

I installed BIND 9 from dvd image of my Solaris 10 (SUNWbind, SUNWbindr) and when I try to start it(svcadm enable network/dns/server), it says there is no /etc/named.conf file.

Why is it so ?
Should not this file be created during installation phase ?
Do I have to create it manually ?
Is there some default template, that I can use to create it ?

thx for help.

I created it manually and server started properly.

touch /etc/named.conf

PMDANAMED(1)						       Performance Co-Pilot						      PMDANAMED(1)

NAME

       pmdanamed - BIND (named) PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdanamed is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the BIND DNS server.  Further details on BIND can
       be found at http://isc.org/.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the named performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named
	       # ./Remove

       pmdanamed is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.	The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

FILES

       /var/named/data/named_stats.txt
	   statistics file showing values exported from named

       /var/named/chroot/var/named/data/named_stats.txt
	   chroot variant of statistics file showing values exported from named

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named/Install
	   installation script for the pmdanamed agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdanamed agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/named.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdanamed
