Can anyone explain this:

   # find /etc/ -name 'named.conf'
   # ls -l /etc/namedb/named.conf
   -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3715 Nov 13 17:35 /etc/namedb/named.conf

named.conf is not found, but as a sanity check a similar search for ppp.conf 
succeeds  

   # find /etc/ -name 'ppp.conf'
   /etc/ppp/ppp.conf

there is nothing odd about the directories: 

   # ls -dl  /etc/namedb/  /etc/ppp/
   drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel  512 Nov 13 17:35 /etc/namedb/
   drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  8 17:36 /etc/ppp/
