Doesn't matter (well, for better security, I would leave it as root) as long
as it is _readable_ by the user "named".

NO! 644 is sufficient.

Possibly, if you did a cut-n-paste of the file...

The syntax parser is stricter. So some things that may have been let go before
are not now.
Also, it is always good to check /var/log/messages for any errors. If the
above typo doesn't fix the problem (or wasn't actually in the file) the check
for errors in there.
