"The BIND nameserver has had its security tightened. The /var/named/
directory is no longer owned by "named", but rather by "root". Slave zone
files should now be stored in the new /var/named/slaves/ directory, which
is owned by "named". In addition, a new bind-chroot  package makes it
possible to run the named daemon in a chroot() "jail" (located in
/var/named/chroot/) for greater security."
