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.
thanks

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting a bad thing?

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

Cool, glad that's been bugzilla'd as I've seen it happening for some
time now as well but just went ahead and chmod'd and chown'd them as
needed to get back to a working state.

You must have bind configured to run in chroot.
rpm's %post script runs /usr/sbin/bind-chroot-admin where, if you have
chroot configured, it runs this lovely bit of code:

Heh, that's indeed lovely. And yea, I've got named configured to run in
chroot as it is the default nowadays (at least on Fedora).

You should note that the 'dynamic' subfolder contents are set to mode 660.
Move your updateable zone files there and update the referenced paths in
named.conf accordingly.

Yep, completely true. After checking the man file, it indeed says that
writeable zone files should be placed in one of the 3 directories in
/var/named/{data,slaves,dynamic}.
Good thing we finally got that one sorted out
Thanks
