No. I usually see some change in the permissions (/var/named/chroot/var/named/ loses group write and named logs some complaints but still works) when updating named.

And sure enought that happened with latest bind update today again.

/var/named/chroot/var l drwxrwx--- 2 named named 4096 Jan 20 17:33 log drwxr-x--- 4 root named 4096 Jan 20 17:33 named drwxr-x--- 4 root named 4096 Mar 14 2003 run drwxrwx--- 2 named named 4096 Mar 14 2003 tmp

I usually set g+w for the named directory. I wonder now if the owner of that directory should actually be named? Thanks.
