Log messages?!

RH 6.2 & Bind are configured to run named as a non root user "named". Make
sure you Named.pid file is owned by root. BUT , make sure your /var/named
dir is owned by "named". Once the named process starts thru the startup
script, if you attempt to reload using the NDC Reload comand, you'll get an
error like that. Also, stay away from Linuxconf  in setting up your zones.
The DNS module has a couple quirks that mess up the zone files. I use the
script in /etc/rc.d/init.d to reload and have never had a problem.

I use Red Hat 6.2 distribution

And I get in the log files every time bind restarts:
Aug  5 20:55:16 Whkg named[661]: couldn't create pid file
'/var/run/named.pid'

although everything seems to work fine I wonder what the entry means.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tom
