Logfile permissions

[David Uriot]

Hi!

I'm running RH 6.2 with bind-8.2.3-0.6.x (redhat package). I entered the following in '/etc/named.conf'

logging {
  channel log_file {
    file "/var/log/named.log";
    print-time yes;
  };
  category default { log_file; };
};

The logfile has 640 permissions. The owner is 'root' an group is also 'root'. I want to change the group into 'named', so users in the group 'named' can access the logfile. However, when I reload named, the group-permission of the logfile has changed to 'root' again. How can I permanently change the group-permission of the logfile to 'named'?
