Help installing Bind 9.2.3 on Solaris 9 Sparc

[Mark Voss]

Weird.  For reasons unknown, it just didn't copy some of the
executables anywhere.  Since it runs as named and not in.named,
possibly this is a function of upgrading from older BIND versions that
I overlooked.  I went into the individual make directories and just
copied any files that weren't put anywhere and all is well now.  Zippy
fast, too.

Thanks for the input.
