I don't know what you expect "locate log | grep named" to do.  Locate 
prints the full paths of all files named "log", and "grep named" will 
show any of those filenames that contain "named".  But named doesn't 
have its own log file (unless you've customized your logging), it just 
logs to the system's normal log file.  You want to do:

grep named /path/to/your/log/file

Depending on the operating system, your logfile may be 
/var/adm/messages, /var/log/syslog, or something similar to these.  Look 
in your /etc/syslog.conf to see where it sends daemon log messages.
