please help initial setup of bind 9 on solaris 7

[Joe Kattner]

Just a little note, since Tony is using Solaris, he probably already has the
startup script /etc/init.d/inetsvc, (which calls in.named by default, and
does a number of other things also). The lines calling in.named will need to
be edited to point to the new version 9 named, in both the stop and start
sections.

The ARM is also on line at

You will have to create one. I would also suggest you
create a directory ( / var/named ) to store your zonefiles.

Done that you will most likley create a startupscript (
/etc/rc.d/rc2/Sxxnamed to start
named at boot time, as you would configure /etc/rndc.conf  in order to 
be able to use rndc.

Have you read the documentation that comes with bind-9 ? It's well
worth reading.
