>Description:
Default location for named's pid file is /var/run, which is owned by root. This conflicts with named when it is launched with -u bind. Named is able to create /var/run/named.pid at startup, but generates an error upon "ndc reload":
named[113]: couldn't create pid file '/var/run/named.pid'
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up named to run "-u bind". Run named. Run "ndc reload". tail /var/log/messages
>Fix:
Move the pid file into a subdirectory that can be chowned to bind:
