Logging Help

[frank tanner]

Presumably it SHOULD be writing it in the /var/named directory as I have that directory specified in the directory directive.  The /var/named directory is chowned by the uid and gid that the named process runs as.  I also, as a test, specifically put in /var/named/named.log in the directive and that did not work either.

Here is the ls -la information for the /var directory, specifically named:

drwxr-xr-x    3 named    named        4096 Apr 24 09:48 named

named.log is where? Can it be written to as the user named is running as?
