By default, you need 'root' permissions to write to the /var/run
directory. As the port is configured on FreeBSD, BIND drops privileges
as soon as practical to that of the 'bind' user and group. For example:
imb@sarah:/home/imb> ls -l /var/run/named/
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 4 Apr 30 21:05 pid
-rw------- 1 bind bind 102 Apr 30 21:05 session.key
It seems you have incorrectly changed the configuration by not taking
these permissions into account. Check your named.conf for the incorrect
definition of pid-file - it should be "/var/run/named/pid",
