start script for bind9

[hugo hugoo]

I do not use the version provided bu Debian because I am migrating from bind8 to Bind9 and I wan to have both versions available on the same server.
So, I want to have Bind9 totally separated from Bind8.
 
I use Debian, version 5 and the last ESV bind9.
 
- I have seen that in the debian distribution, bind9 is started via "named -u bind"  ==> is it dangerous to run bind9 as root?
 
- The following script is provided i nthe distribution to start/stop bind9.
  But I hesitate to copy it to use it with a source installation.
 
lennydnstest01:~# cat /etc/init.d/bind9
#!/bin/sh
