OK, I took out the -p on the copies so that it will work on the pmax.
It may be that the old named worked OK if you didn't use a trailing
'.' on entries in /etc/named.local, but that didn't make it correct.
I didn't realize that anybody had stuff in there without the trailing
dot. Anyway, in the interests of backwards compatability,
/etc/named.mit now sets the $ORIGIN to "." before including
/etc/named.local.
Also note that there will be a line like:
Oct 10 15:47:05 scarecrow named[23643]: /etc/named.local: no SOA record
logged each time the named is started. This is not really an error in
our current configuration, but we decided not to suppress the message
because it would be an error if it appeared on any real nameservers
(i.e. the hesiod servers or mit.edu servers).
