Most likely, though is this a horrific problem? It does not seem to be. The only thing I am worried about is why I can't launch BIND 9.1 in to it's own user/group. With previous versions, 'named -u bind -g bind' would select both perfectly, in 9.1 it appears to have changed and I cannot quite figure it out. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I did run into something odd that I can't quite figure out, it's also mentioned in the 9.1 documentation and I'm sure some one knows the answer. I managed to start BIND fine, yet digging through the logs I ran into this line that makes me wonder.
