I allready did what you suggested months ago. Cause I knew what the risks
where by running named as root.
And ofcourse I also HATE IT rebooting busy production servers so that is why
we decided also to take our chances and go for it on our own way.

When I saw the update available. I thought: "whell let me be the nice guy
for once ;-)" and lets notify the list !

Thanks anyway nico (I really appriciate your reply, many other users will
benefit from it!).

We spreken elkaar.

Best regards,
