named ownership problem

Hi,

I have a very strange problem on my Fedora Core 4.0 installation.
Occasionally when named is restarted it changes the ownership and group
on files through out the directory tree such as /., /..,
/usr/bin/login, /var/log/messages etc. I have looked at the
/etc/init.d/named file but all its chown commands are qualified by the
--from parameter which should stop any misbehaviour.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The named uses a chroot
which I thought might have a stray symlink but I cannot find anything.

Any suggestions are very welcome, if you would like any files I am
happy to supply them - although currently I don't know where to look.

Tom
