>Description:

As noted by Dr Matthew J Seaman in freebsd-questions, the Handbook needs
an update now that make-localhost is gone:

: Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 17:01:31 +0100
: From: Matthew Seaman < m.seaman (at) infracaninophile (dot) co (dot) uk >
: Subject: Re: "make-localhost" not there (DNS/named setup on 7.0)
: To: Ewald Jenisch < a (at) jenisch (dot) at >
: Cc: freebsd-questions at freebsd.org
: Message-ID: <47FCE85B.4040505 at infracaninophile.co.uk>
:
: The handbook is slightly out of date and the 'make-localhost' script
: is now history.  Instead, the system comes with pre-installed
: /etc/namedb/master/localhost-forward.db and .../localhost-reverse.db
: zone files and the appropriate configuration shown in the example
: named.conf file.  Basically, ignore the paragraph in the handbook that
: says 'run make-localhost' and nowadays base your named.conf on the
: sample configuration supplied with the system rather than the examples
: shown in the handbook.

I'll try to handle this.
