It's in there. 

On the command line when invoking Bind -u specifies the UID, -g specifies
the GID, and -t specifies the chroot directory.

If you are using ndc to control your server, you'll probably want to add
this into the source(as well as changing the UID/GID that the ndc socket
is owned by.)
