Bind 9.3.4P1 Wouldn't run in Sandbox in FreeBSD6.2p9.

[Martin McCormick]

I don't know if this is a bind question or a FreeBSD question so
I am posting to both groups since  it could be either.

	We've run bind in a sandbox for some years. After the
latest security upgrades to FreeBSD6.2 which brought the patch
level to 9, bind refused to start.
If I change ownership of /var/named to root:wheel and run named
as root, it works fine again.

	I had made bind's user ID 65532 for many years and
started it with:

/usr/sbin/named -t /var/named -u 65532 -cetc/named.conf

	After rebooting following the updates, named wasn't
there any longer.

03-Dec-2007 12:01:45.203 couldn't open pid file './named.pid': File
exists
 03-Dec-2007 12:01:45.221 exiting (due to early fatal error)

	Running it as root did bring it back to life.
