You must have less need of them than the rest of us Brad *8)

bind-9.x.x/doc/man/[bin][dnssec][lwres]

A quick glance at the Makefile leads me to suspect that it
won't install them automatically. You may want to point your
"MANPATH" at these directories, or manually "cp" the files
to relevant directories.

On my box cp *.8 /usr/man/man8 and check the file
permissions are read for group/other if you think they
should be able to read the manual), updating the index is a
good idea as well (man catman, or man whatis, or similar)

Or the terminally lazy (like me) can just "nroff -man
named.8 | more" as needed.
