bind 9.1.3-r6 can't be started as user named...there's a quickfix by adding the [pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid"] directive to /etc/named.conf and create the dir /var/run/named chowned named.named. Another problem is that /etc/init.d/named contains the start params --user named which does not seem to have any effect? the server starts as root anyway.
