<DIV>Just came back from the site and we did what you mention unfortunately this
did not help. I also noticed that named is running and cannot load due to
the same permissions denied error.</DIV>
<DIV>Just a question if the user issued a chmod with no parameters will chmod
apply or change any permissions. I had a look at the history log and saw
this command issued.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
