Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bind9

First things first:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04
$ apt-cache policy bind9
bind9:
  Installed: 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1
  Candidate: 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1
  Version table:

I get a permission denied error on var/run/named/named.stats due to apparmor 
rules

Example from syslog:
Apr 27 19:33:49 ns named[1515]: received control channel command 'stats'
Apr 27 19:33:49 ns named[1515]: could not open statistics dump file 
'/var/run/named/named.stats': permission denied
Apr 27 19:33:49 ns named[1515]: dumpstats failed: permission denied
Apr 27 19:33:50 ns kernel: [432780.140162] type=1503 audit(1272389629.995:21):  
operation="open" pid=1516 parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/named" 
requested_mask="ac::" denied_mask="ac::" fsuid=103 ouid=103 
name="/var/run/named/named.stats"


I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and this seems to happen both with a newly installed 
system and one upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. With a 
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named changed as the diff below, everything seems to 
work OK.

Please note that I haven't read up on which permissions should be
allowed to the stats-file, this was just a quick fix, so please change
the permissions if needed...
