Presumably you are running with `named -u` so tell the kernel to allow
core dumps for suid binaries [1] or allow an ordinary user to bind to
reserved ports [2] and start named as the ordinary user rather than using
'named -u’.  Use chroot rather su if you are using `named -t`.

	su -u user named …

	chroot -u user <newroot> named …
