Problem with BIND 9.2.1 Logging

I am having a problem with BIND 9.2.1 and logging.  I have two Solaris
5.6 systems.  One one (a slave server), when I tested BIND 9.2.1 I saw
these messages in /var/adm/messages (reformatted as to not wrap):

     Jul  1 12:57:11 titania.ctd.anl.gov named[11253]:
       starting BIND 9.2.1 -c /export/home/named/named.conf.titania
     Jul  1 12:58:32 titania.ctd.anl.gov named[11253]: net174.rev:6:
       no TTL specified; using SOA MINTTL instead
     Jul  1 13:00:53 titania.ctd.anl.gov named[11253]: running

On the hidden master, I get these messages:

     Jul  2 07:15:25 puck.ctd.anl.gov named[21131]:
       loading configuration from '/export/home/named/named.conf.puck'
     Jul  2 07:15:47 puck.ctd.anl.gov named[21131]:
       zone tis.anl.gov/IN: loaded serial 2002070102

On the master, I do not get the "starting" nor "running" messages.
On the slave I get the "SOA MINTTL" messages.

The non-commented lines from the syslog.conf file are:
MASTER:
-----
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice;user.none         /dev/console
*.err;kern.debug;daemon,auth.notice;mail.crit;user.none /var/adm/messages
user.err        /var/adm/messages
*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err;user.none           operator
*.alert;user.none                               root

*.emerg;user.none                               *


mail.debug                      ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
mail.debug                      /var/log/syslog

ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,
user.err                                        /dev/console
user.err                                        /var/adm/messages
user.alert                                      `root, operator'
user.emerg                                      *
)

local4.info                                     /var/adm/messages
local6.debug                                    /var/log/tacacs.log
*.info                                          @hploghost.ops.anl.gov

auth.info                       /var/log/authlog

SLAVE:
-----
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice;user.none         /dev/console
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none      /var/adm/messages

*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err;user.none           operator
*.alert;user.none                               root

*.emerg;user.none                               *


mail.debug                      ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
mail.debug                      /var/log/syslog

ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,
user.err                                        /dev/console
user.err                                        /var/adm/messages
user.alert                                      `root, operator'
user.emerg                                      *
)

local4.info                                     /var/adm/messages
*.info                                          @hploghost.ops.anl.gov
*.info                                          /var/adm/messages
auth.info                       /var/log/authlog
-----

The only differences are

    M: user.err        /var/adm/messages
    S: nothing

    M: *.err;kern.debug;daemon,auth.notice;mail.crit;user.none /var/adm/messages
    S: *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none      /var/adm/messages

My question is this: what do I need to do on the master to get the
"starting" and "running" messages?  I have a feeling that the TTL
messages must be being generated on the master, but I do not see them
there.  I have no "logging" statements in my named.conf files.
And the executables were FTPed from the same build directory.
Thanks.
