I had an identical problem with a DNS server I maintain for a company...
It turned out that someone was hacking into the system and installing an IRC
bot (Eggdrop) and thereby killing named. Their files would somehow overwrite
it...
I was re-installing it from the RPM on a daily basis...
Using a standard /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start just resulted in a linefeed...
This went on for several days, until I started looking in the .bash_history
files and found everything which had been done.
The perpetrator had tried to cover their tracks, but missed this...

Subject: named keeps vanishing
Anyone have any idea why /usr/sbin/named would keeping disappearing from
the filesystem? This all started about 24 hours ago. I replaced it once
early this morning and had to do it again a little bit ago.
