Definately security.  Agreed.  And I understood the fact that named was
running as a seperate user (named).  My method of getting around that
would be to create a group such as 'daemon' or what not for var/log
permissions and var/run.  For /etc you would just need file level group
changes.  Etc...

Again... just a thought, if people think it's better to let everything
reside in home, I'll go along with that... let me know your thoughts on
the above though.

On a side note... I understand as well that it's an RPM so moving stuff
around is a bad idea there... we'd have ta go to the source.  

Another idea is to just create links from all the standard places.  You
could link /etc/named.conf and /var/log/named and /var/run/named.pid back
to the proper files/directories as well.

Thoughts?
