LinuxQuestions.org - named 9.3.3rc2 log file permission error

I am getting:

Mar 21 12:54:42 etcweb named[3220]: logging channel 'log_file' file '/var/named/named.log': permission denied
Mar 21 12:54:42 etcweb named[3220]: isc_log_open '/var/named/named.log' failed: permission denied

From named. My /etc/named.conf has:

Code:

logging {

        channel log_file {

                file "/var/named/named.log" versions 3 size 100M;

                print-time yes;

                print-category yes;

                print-severity yes;

        };

        category lame-servers { null; };

        category default { log_file; };

        category queries { log_file; };

        category xfer-in { log_file; };

        category xfer-out { log_file; };

};

And I have checked that I am not running chroot'd (bind-chroot-admin -d has been run) and when I check it:

Code:

[root@etcweb log]# ps -ef | grep named

named    3220    1  0 12:54 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/named -u named

root      3243  3033  0 12:57 pts/0    00:00:00 grep named

And the permissions on the directory are ok:

Code:

[root@etcweb log]# ls -ld /var /var/named /var/named/named.log

drwxr-xr-x 25 root  root  4096 Mar  3 14:56 /var

drwxr-x---  7 named named 4096 Mar 21 12:47 /var/named

-rw-r--r--  1 named named    0 Mar 21 12:47 /var/named/named.log

But I still get the complaints above in the messages file.

Am running CentOS 5 with bind 9.3.3rc2:

Code:

[root@etcweb log]# uname -r

2.6.18-53.1.14.el5

[root@etcweb log]# named -v

BIND 9.3.3rc2

This is on a slave server. I can see from the master that it's doing zone transfers but the zone files don't seem to be written into the appropriate directories, either.
