The binary is working fine. You should now add the following:

- - a source of entropy in the form of /dev/random
- - a file named rndc.key, at the path indicated in the error message

Your resolv.conf should list the server itself as a name server, like  
this:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

That's probably all you need in resolv.conf. You can also set up an  
explicit named.conf if you want something other than the default  
behaviors.

To make it run as a daemon but otherwise the same as above, simply  
remove the "-g" argument from the command line:

/path/to/named -c /dev/null

It will log messages to syslogd if syslogd is running.
