I don't know if this is a bind question or a FreeBSD question since it could be either. We've run bind in a sandbox for some years. After the latest security upgrades to FreeBSD6.2.9, bind refused to start. If I change ownership of /var/named to root:wheel and run named as root, it works fine again. This was kind of a shock and I needed to get bind going in a hurry so I am asking if there is a way to make bind run with the less important user ID when it is not in a jail. I am so glad I tried this on a caching DNS first. Thanks for answers or pointers as to where to read about this change.
