init script fails + permission denied error

[Bill Friedman]

Ok, I broke down and bought the BIND book so now I understand the slave setup.

I am, however, a bit mystified why the doc says to use a copy of the 
primary's db.127.0.0, unmodified.  Is that correct?  It seems to load ok.

However,  The unaltered init script I copied from the primary 9.2.1 
install, doesn't work.  ( 9.2.1 installed on primary, 9.2.2 on slave)  I 
just used the generic tarball for install as opposed to an rpm, which 
had dependencies I couldn't find on rpmfind.  Anyway, here's what 
happens when I run the init script.

Using /usr/sbin/named starts it, but I get the permission error on 
transfer.  /usr/sbin/named -u named fails, and running without it causes 
it to run as root, which I suspect has something to do with the 
permissions issue.

...otherwise, here's the only distinction between running the init 
script to start and using /usr/sbin/named
