Though you said the temp files were owned by root and mode 700... Named
won't be able to work with them.
This is a box that was recently upgraded from FC3. Everything appears to
be
working fine and I'm not seeing any other errors messages.
I might hazard a guess that the other user's sticky bit hasn't been set
for your /tmp directory. I've had that happen to me.
e.g. This is how mine is set:
ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 4096 Apr 22 15:33 /tmp
See the chmod map page for how to set the sticky bit.
Though, I'd have thought any named temp files would have ended up
inside: /var/named/chroot/var/tmp
I got it figured out. I actually had two problems and I thought both were
named. The named problem was an ownership/permission problem that I fixed
easily enough. However, I have a custom script that downloads some virus
dat files from a website that broke (they changed the website around...I
hate when that happens!!!). It was leaving some garbage behind in /tmp
that looked almost exactly the same as named problem. The only difference
was a "." in the file name.
