I think sun considers them "base-utils" thus no pkg info available.

"rm" is your friend here :-)

Don't forget nslookup !


As for your second question, bind-9 will, by itself, install in
/usr/local/{bin|sbin}. If you accept that you need to adjust your 
startup scripts in /etc/init.d 

The alternative is to move the new named to /usr/sbin/in.named ( replacing SUN's
named) Both alternatives will do the job.
