It says: When invoked without arguments, named will fork into two processes for privilege separation. chroot() to /var/named, read the default configuration file /var/named/etc/named.conf, read any initial data, and lis- ten for queries.But it took me a good hour after I posted my question, after already trying for 2 hours, to figure out that what it really means is:When invoked without the "-t" argument...No arguments implies there is no -t option.
It also implies that giving it any option, for example -c, will cause it *not* to "fork into two processes for privilege separation". When in reality what named does is to *always* fork and chroot.
Regardless, the named behavior doesn't help my situation. What I really want are user level access controls, a constructible file system, or the ability to multi-mount filesystems. Instead of using the chroot sledgehammer.
