using ndc to reload/reconfig bind that is chroot'ed

[Phil Newlon]

I am having a bit of difficulty getting bind to reconfig/reload when running in
my chroot jail.  I have used pieces of Dave's etherboy howto and Scott Wunsch's
howto.  I have included what I think is pertinent information, would appreciate
input on why my "ndc reload" or "ndc reconfig" won't work....  Thanks!  Phil


*** to start named I use:
    daemon /chroot/named/usr/sbin/named -u named -g named -t /chroot/named

};

        unix "/var/run/ndc"
        perm 0600
        owner 0
        group 0;

logging {
        channel dns_syslog {
          syslog daemon;
          severity info;
        };
        channel dns_file {
          file "named.log";
          severity debug;
          print-category yes;
          print-severity yes;
          print-time yes;
