CentOS - Apr 2007 - Centos 5 where is rndc.conf and named.conf?

In /var/named/chroot/etc there is no rndc.conf or named.conf.

Where are they?    Webmin built a named.conf, but it is missing many of 
the 'default' entries.  And it did not set up the symbolic link to /etc

I am trying to follow instructions at:

step 2 of m. wains' instructions directs you to run `rndc-confgen - 
a`, which will generate a rndc.conf file.

step 8 directs you to install the 'caching-nameserver' package, which  
will provide you with the default entries.

Didn't do it for me.  Still no rndc.conf.  And my reading of m. wains' 
instructions is to first cp rndc.conf from /etc to
chroot...

I'll give that a try.

Upstream thought it would be funny to break expected behaviour:

This may be worst than expected behaviour.  I really do not know enough 
about this, but don't you NEED the /etc files that are sym-linked the 
chroot files?  So what do you do to set them up?  I am going to TRY the 
default config method and see if it sets up the necessary files at 
least, forget content.  I am building a new server and will be copying 
ALL the files needed from the old chroot directories on the current server.

Oh and caching-nameserver's files for Centos 5 are quite different from 
those in Centos 4  :(

You won't believe this!!!!

Or maybe you will....

So I install system-config-bind, it wasn't included in my original 
system build...

When I try to run it I get: 

Zone File Initialisation Error:
Zone .
file /etc/db.cache
load error:
ERROR: Zone . file /etc/db.cache does not exist.

It IS in chroot/etc but nothing set up things 'right' in /etc.

This is an unbelievable mess.  What did I not install right?
