I have done more searches and see that this issues has been talked about ( my early search missed it ) - sadly the proposed solution ie. re-compile and running as root is not workable me - these days I find that when running a large network of computers keeping track of all the problems, etc becomes a major pain, and with services like up2date from RedHat is the way go to. I like to stick to rpms shipped by RedHat and updates from them as problems are fund - I hope someone has been able to solve this issue and there is a way of running bind 9 from RH8.0 inside vserver with no recompile.
For now I will do the regular thing, and build a minimal chroot env. just with files needed by bind 9 ( about 5MB in total ). Thanks, Peter
