Hi Glen,

> What problems could occur if named continues running as root?

Dunno if the bind exploit(s) can actually yield shell access (probably), but
if that's the case it'll be a ROOTSHELL (!!!) in your case!

Don't even consider running a daemon as root when it's not absolutely
necessary. I'll refrain from using more exlamation marks. You've had your
dose. ;-)

Have a safe one... Nico
