Master file not found

Hi Mike,

I am sure that the described problem does not depend on  the interface
configuration. So there must be another issue that maybe appears
simultaneously (Murphy is greeting ;-)

An information about the behavior of named running as root (without -u named)
would be very helpful. Does the problem appear then too ? 
If, please post the exact error message.
Are there any other errors ?

Posting the relevant part of your named.conf (options with path env) would also
be helpful.
