OK... didn't get any reply on this but more in-depth googling found the answer to my
problem:
use the line:
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
in the options section of named.conf.

Hello List... I'm trying to setup bind9 on rh9. I get an error on startup of named -
cannot open pid file /var/run/named.pid: Permission denied.
However I want to write the pid to /var/run/named/named.pid instead (creating a named
directory) so I can give the named user read/write rights.
How
