>Description:
When restarting i always get this error in my log that the working directory of named wasn't writable, .. so i chown the /var/named directory to bind, .. but i noticed that after restarting the daemon that the permissions where set back to what they where.

instead of making such fixes:

directory           "/etc/namedb/letskeepthisdirwriteable";

it might be more reasonable to change, BIND.chroot.dist to use bind instead of root user.
>How-To-Repeat:
restart the bind daemon

/set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755 << change uname=bind
