I'll have to admit - I haven't read this entire thread. Seems like I
missed quite a few interesting posts by being off the list for too
long.

But what the user named is running as (whatever it is, `named' in my
case to keep it completely separate) is write permissions to
/var/run/named/ - or wherever the PID file should be put. Also note
that this holds true for any other directories it has to write to. (I
don't think it needs write access to the directories above it,
though.)

	$ ls -ld /var/named
	drwxrwx---    5 michael  named        4096 Jul 25 02:21 /var/named
