Not sure why this is happening so perhaps someone can explain this to me.
Whenever I update bind it messes up/resets access rights on my zone files. Now normally this wouldn't be a bad thing, but because I have dynamic updates on, for which named creates journalizing files, I end up having non-writeable journalizing files. So after every update I end up having to manually change the access rights on my jnl files.

Is anyone else having the same problem and/or is it supposed to be like this?
I am having exactly this problem on my CentOS server.  It started
recently and I haven't managed to fix it, or find any more about it yet.

It bugs the hell out of me - if you do get a solution outside this
board can you let me know.
It's undoubtedly one of the %post scripts in the rpm that's doing it.
Bugzilla it.

actually, I don't use Fedora for bind but rather RHEL or CentOS and it
exhibits the same behavior if I have dynamic updates turned on too. The
same thing happens if I just restart manually but seemingly not when
logs rotate. I presume that a complete shutdown/restart should have the
initscript delete the journal files or something but I never bothered
trying to figure it out.

you can chmod g+s, g+w /var/named/chroot/var/named to ensure that the
journal files are always created as group named

I only see the problem occur after I update, not when I restart/shutdown named. And I kinda had the same feeling, about not wanting to bother to try and figure it out, but this has happened so many times before, I got kinda annoyed of it :P

And your solution, using chmod, might work if named recreates journal files every restart. But when I restart named, it does not recreate them. It just leaves them as they are (neither does it chown/chmod them for that matter). Maybe RHEL recreates jnl files every restart, but that I don't know :)

Anyway, the bug is filed under:
