DNS Server on Solaris 10

Question

Hi. I'm trying to install DNS in a Solaris 10, But there is some strange and is that the inetd file is so short, and in the rc2.d directory isn't the S72inetsvc that is the file that start | stop -TCP services. I copied that file from another server and this is the message :
"starting internet domain name server.
inetd is now an smf(5) managed service and can no longer be run from the
command line. "
Any knows haw can I do to fix it?
Thanks.

     Change server=”/usr/sbin/named” to server=”/usr/local/sbin/named”Install BIND
# mkdir /usr/named
# cd /var
# ln –s /usr/named named
# mount /nfs/OS-INSTALL
# cd /opt/PATCHES
# cp /nfs/OS-INSTALL/Solaris/bind-9.5.0-P1.tar.gz /opt/PATCHES
# gzcat bind-9.5.0-P1.tar.gz | tar –xvf –
# cd bind-9.5.0-P1
# ./configure –disable-threads
# make
# make install
.pwd
# vi /root/.profile     Add /usr/local/sbin to the PATH statement (/usrbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:…… )
Confirguing BIND:
-     when the software is finished doing the installation, you have to create the “/var/named/” directory and “/etc/named.conf” file. Depending on what type of DNS server you wish to create:
Primary:
-     review the configuration on the DNSEXT01(secondary external DNS), DNSEXT02(primary external DNS), DNSINT01(primary internal DNS) or DNSINT02(secondary internal DNS) server. In short find one and copy over the /etc/named.conf and /var/named-int/.named.root /var/named-ext/.named.root.
-     Allow transfer from dnsint01 ( or the current primary ) by editing /etc/named.conf on that box.
-     Stop and restart named on the primary.
-     Start named on the new box
-     Watch /var/adm/messages on both primary and newbox for errors
-     You should start seeing the db files populating in /var/named-int and /var/named-ext on the new box.
Secondary
-     review the configuration on the DNSEXT01(secondary external DNS), DNSEXT02(primary external DNS), DNSINT01(primary internal DNS) or DNSINT02(secondary internal DNS) server. In short find one and copy over the /etc/named.conf and /var/named-int/.named.root. /var/named-ext/.named.root.
-     Allow transfer from dnsint01 ( or the current primary ) by editing /etc/named.conf on that box.
-     Stop and restart named on the primary.
-     Start named on the new box
-     Watch /var/adm/messages on both primary and newbox for errors
-     You should start seeing the db files populating in /var/named on the new box.
