Probably been there for a while, it's a stray glitch from running named as
'named' instead of 'root', the recent security patch probably made it
appear...

I'd be more concerned if you don't see it ;0

Won't hurt anything, it's just unhappy because it can't write it's pid
lock as a chrooted user, since cobalt runs daemon services under a
seperate daemon manager, it's doesn't really need it anyhow, and it gets
it right initially...(It's complicated, there is an earlier post about it
from long ago when it first showed up ;)

(Just be aware that using NDC from telnet may do strange things, managing 
dns from the GUI will be fine)
