I'm in the exact same situation.

True. That's the way it is supposed to work. In fact, the GUI reports that
everything is set up correctly. However, if I look in /var/log/messages, I
find these "can't make tmpfile - permission denied" errors. It's as though
the sec.domain.com file is trying to be written by a user with no
privileges.

Here's a snip of what happens when starting named...

Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named[551]: Forwarding source address is [0.0.0.0].1024
Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named[552]: group = 25
Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named[552]: user = named
Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named[552]: Ready to answer queries.
Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named-xfer[557]: can't make tmpfile
(sec.domain.com.OfqLRa): Permission denied
Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named-xfer[558]: can't make tmpfile
(sec.domain.com.zOz7Da): Permission denied
Mar  6 14:12:59 ns2 named-xfer[559]: can't make tmpfile
(sec.domain.com.cXxVAc): Permission denied

and so on...

Any ideas?
