It's not a typo. The default location in FreeBSD, as specified in the
default named.conf for a very long time, is /var/run/named/pid. If you
choose to deviate from that you need to put the pidfile location in your
named.conf file (as you pointed out in your message, and which you
should be doing anyway).


hth,
