it's in this package:
bacall% pkginfo | grep SUNWcsu
system SUNWcsu Core Solaris, (Usr)
bacall% pkgchk -l -p /usr/sbin/in.named
Pathname: /usr/sbin/in.named
Type: regular file
Expected mode: 0555
Expected owner: root
Expected group: bin
Expected file size (bytes): 369100
Expected sum(1) of contents: 41787
Expected last modification: May 16 06:02:04 2001
Referenced by the following packages:
SUNWcsu
Current status: installed
to remove, perhaps:
rm /usr/sbin/in.named ???
i wouldn't suggest removing the Core Solaris package :>
your best bet is probably to compile bind9 with sysconfdir set to
/usr/local/etc/ (so that /etc/named.conf doesn't exist, and in.named
isn't started from /etc/init.d/inetsvc) and then add your own init
script to start bind.
this way, if you apply patches to the system, you won't accidentally
mess things up.
