Named is *always* started as root.
ndc can pass additional arguements to named, just add the
same arguements as you use to start named normally.
e.g.
ndc start <arguements>
or if your system library has a broken getopt
ndc -- start <arguements>
Also you should upgrade to BIND 8.2.2-P7 as there are DoS
flaws in BIND 8.2.2-P5.
