Fedora Core 1 has a problem in the DNS.
If you install bind, the /var/named directory gets 750 permissions and
is onwed by root and group named.
If you add a zone in /etc/named.conf from another server as a slave and
don't touch the file in /var/named the zone doesn't get transfered
because it can't create the file for the zone.
Solution: change the permissions in /var/named to 770.

I did not find a related bugzilla article for that problem. Would you
please enter that issue as a bug into bugzilla so that the bind
maintainer (Daniel Walsh) can check and fix it?
Alexander
Wouldn't it be preferable to have a subdirectory /var/named/slave that
is 770 and define the slave zone files in named.conf to be placed
there? I suspect the point of the mode 750 with root:named ownership
was to reduce the risk of a compromised named modifying master zone files.
