CentOS - Jul 2007 - Is BIND In CentOS 5.0 Broken?

Hi,

I've just isntalled CentOS 5.0 in my machine; selected DNS server during the
selection process.

After the completing the installation, I wanted to configure my DNS server
but it seemed that /etc/named.conf and other stuffs in
/var/named/chroot/var/named directory are not
there  (i.e., *.zone, *.local, etc).

Can anyone give me idea? This is the first time that I've tried CentOS; used
to have Fedora Core and RHEL; but I know CentOS is a RHEL fork; just don't
know what exactly the
other differences are.

Cheers!

This is not a 'bug' or 'broken' package so to speak, but more a
concious decision by the upstream folks. See the bugzilla report here

Basically you can copy the 'example' files from /usr/share/doc/ or use
system-config-bind to set things up.
