BIND9 doesn't seem to do anything

[Pat Maddox]

I installed BIND9 from the ports earlier, edited the config files a
bit, but I can't get it to run at all.  When I type named, or
/etc/rc.d/named start, there's no output at all, and then I find that
named isn't running.  I've tried this again with the default install
as well, without touching and files, but same thing.  There also isn't
anything in the logs folder, so I guess it's not creating an error log
of anything.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Pat
