Firstly why are you installing a version that is two maintenance
releases behind current (9.2.5 / 9.3.1)?

Secondly you need to create named.conf, rndc.conf etc.
There is no way we can second guess what your configuration
requirements are. rndc-confgen will help with rndc.conf.

Note this should be all documented. If it is not documented
complain the the people creating the package as it is included
in the source we ship.
