We made the changes to the named file, but have subsequently found "couldn't create pid file /var/run/named.pid" in our logs. It looks like root permission is needed to create the "named.pid" file, but is it critical?
Remove the file as root. Then named will recreate it on its own. If you have problems, su to user named then "touch" the file (man touch). -- Rodolfo J. Paiz rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
