Hi, I have read some postings here in the group that states to set the group writability for the named directory. But it still keeps logging the error message from the topic.

My named.conf looks like this: options { # The directory statement defines the name server's working directory directory "/var/lib/named"; # Write dump and statistics file to the log subdirectory. The # pathenames are relative to the chroot jail. dump-file "/var/log/named_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats"; ... What am I doing wrong ? Are the dump-file and statistics-file entries the reason ?
