RHEL BIND issue setting up slave.

[Craig Daters <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am upgrading a system to RHEL ES 4 from Red Hat 9. This machine is one 
I am trying to set up as a slave DNS server to my master with the intent 
that it will eventually become the primary.

I have everything installed and up2date, with basic defaults. I have my 
networking stuff all configured and working. On the primary, my zone 
files are updated to point to my new server as a slave NS and MX, as 
well as the can_transfer directive in my named.conf file. I made sure 
that my serial numbers were all updated, and I have tailed the logs to 
make sure that everything reload correctly.

When I restart the master, it updates my other slaves like before 
(hosted off site). The slave starts up okay.

The named.conf file on the slave has the obligatory info:

zone "domain.name" IN {
	type slave;
	file "db.domain.name";
	masters { 012.345.678.90; };
};

When it tries to grab (or I issue an "rndc reload" command) the zone 
info, this is what I see:

Mar 21 13:52:38 arwen named[26940]: loading configuration from 
'/etc/named.conf'

Mar 21 13:52:38 arwen named[26940]: dumping master file: tmp-XXXXF0Bog8: 
open: permission denied

Mar 21 13:52:38 arwen named[26940]: transfer of 'westpress.com/IN' from 
192.168.0.67#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied

Mar 21 13:52:38 arwen named[26940]: transfer of 'westpress.com/IN' from 
192.168.0.67#53: end of transfer

I cannot figure it out! I have checked, and doublechecked my logs. I 
notice that there are some new chroot folders on the slave machine, and 
seemingly a whole new directory structure for named. I am not familiar 
with this setup, could this have something to do with my problem? Might 
anyone have some insight that could guide me towards a solution?
