/var/run is not a good directory to change permissions on. It opens up
for all sorts of security problems, and so should probably only be writable

In that case, put the pid file in some other directory to which nobody
can safely have write permission. Perhaps /var/named/run ? Se the
pid-file option in your named.conf man page.
