local.cf is the obvious one.

Also: init.pre  v330.pre and maybe v340.pre

I'm suggesting those because the new user MUST modify them (local.cf)
and the others because they would seem to be controlling modules that
issue DNS-like queries that a new user might consider killing off.

I also think that supplying simple boilerplate config files for bind and
unbound that cause them to simply issue non-forwarded DNS queries would
be a good idea because configuring bind for the first time is non-
trivial. I would have found configuring it quite difficult without
buying the O'Reilly 'locust' book "DNS and Bind".

I haven't used unbound so have no idea how easy it would be to set up to
support just non-forwarded queries.
