I had similar problems with 9.7.1-P2 and it seemed that the named init
script generated for F11 reset permissions on the /var/named
directory. Go figure. But, to make it work, I inserted a chmod
command just before it launched the daemon to set /var/named as owned
by named. I also like the executable in /usr/local/sbin rather than
/usr/sbin as the script said. so mine now is as below:
...
chown -hR named:named /var/named ## DRF
# daemon /usr/sbin/"$named" -u named ${OPTIONS}; ## DRF
daemon /usr/local/sbin/"$named" -u named ${OPTIONS}; ## DRF
...
I don't start it directly from the command line though, so running
from the command line as root should not have that ownership problem.
You might check the actual install directory as you might be running
the old executable.

I checked the version of named and named-checkconf using -v and -V and
tried running it via the full path. They have the right version number
9.7.1-P2.
