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.

Lyle, since it runs from the command line, it would seem that you're
left with the zone files and those special files named needs. From
the named-checkconf man:
"Note: files that named reads in separate parser contexts, such as
rndc.key and bind.keys, are not automatically read by named-checkconf.
Configuration errors in these files may cause named to fail to run,
even if named-checkconf was successful. named-checkconf can be run on
these files explicitly, however."
I have also found some pesky errors in my zone files by running
named-checkzone on them. That may be indicated as you can run but the
zones don't open.

the more I play, the more it looks like named just plain won't write out
to disk anything except via syslog.
The issue I saw with named-checkconf was user error. (bad command line).
I am starting named as root and it shows up in ps as owned by root. In
the global options section I have set:
directory "/etc/named";
This directory is owned by root and is set to 777 and named still won't
write to it.
The only thing I can come up with it's a problem with SLES 10 SP3.
That's the only thing that makes sense, but I should be able to work
through that.
When starting named, I see this for all zones. The function to dump
master file fails with an open: permission denied.
