Problem running 8.2.1 on Solaris 2.6

[Pradeep Subramaniam]

I had no problems in downloading, compiling and installing version 8.2.1 on
my Sparc 5, running Solaris 2.6. On starting the "named" process, however, I
notice the following:

1. The process does not go into daemon mode, ie. the prompt does not return.
2. These messages appear in the /var/adm/messafes file:

Aug 16 13:56:58 radar named[26172]: starting.  named 8.2.1 Mon Aug 16 12:29:03 EDT 1999
Aug 16 13:56:58 radar   pradeep at radar:/home/pradeep/work/dns/src/bin/named

Aug 16 13:56:58 radar named[26172]: Ready to answer queries.

3. I am unable to query the database, nslookup returns this message:

 ./nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.9.211.192: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available


Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Pradeep.
