Correct, so is there some negative impact I can expect or is it just a log entry I can ignore?

I think this warning happens either when named tries to write its pid file or its session key file, which are the only times that I can find when it would try to set its euid to 0. (When writing those files named temporarily drops privileges, calling seteuid(0) to raise them again, and it permanently drops privileges a bit later.) So my guess is you are not starting named as root? Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <[email protected]> http://dotat.at/ Humber: Northwest backing southwest 3 or 4. Slight, becoming moderate for a time in northeast. Mainly fair. Good.
