Hi,

the latest bind-updates to

bind                    i386       24:9.3.1-18.FC4  updates-released
bind-libs               i386       24:9.3.1-18.FC4  updates-released
bind-utils              i386       24:9.3.1-18.FC4  updates-released

triggered a problem here that we've had in the past as well :-)

The rights for /var/named are
drwxr-x---   5 root named 266240 Apr  2 12:30 named

On a secondary-DNS zones are being written to /var/named. However bind
does not have the right to write files there. A chown to named or chmod
g+w help.

But I'd like to know what others think about this "issue". Is this due
to an error in the package, or a misusage on my side?


Regards,
 Stefan
