Well, an almost 10 year-old bug.
bind 9 runs as a non-root user already:
# ps u -C named
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
bind 780 0.0 17.2 20092 5156 ? Ss Mar13 0:00
/usr/sbin/named -u bind
bind 781 0.0 17.2 20092 5156 ? S Mar13 0:01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind
bind 782 0.4 17.2 20092 5156 ? S Mar13 123:58
/usr/sbin/named -u bind
bind 783 0.0 17.2 20092 5156 ? S Mar13 1:21
/usr/sbin/named -u bind
bind 784 0.0 17.2 20092 5156 ? S Mar13 7:06
/usr/sbin/named -u bind
Since bind 8 is at EOL stage ("security fixes only if critical and no
support") I think no one will ever fix this bug. Instead, shouldn't be
the future of this package in Debian considered?
