/etc/named is a nonstandard directory, you should use /var/named, which is created with the correct permissions. Old versions of bind used to need root privileges, current versions drop privileges and run as their own user. Is this documented anywhere? If not, it should be. I have been using /etc/named for years to be consistent with other similar usage I have found on other Red Hat distributions. P.S. I do not consider a bug to be closed until the originator of the bug is satisfied. /etc is not a place to save db caches. Please have a look at the FHS: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.7.html and http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.13.html |
