	It is the ownership and permission of the directory listed in the
	options block in named.conf, taking into concideration any chroot
	arguements, vs the user-id the process is running as (-u user-id).

	e.g.
	options {
		directory "/var/named";
		...
	};
	
	named -u user-id

	Does "user-id" have permission to write to "/var/named"?
