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.
