named failed to start

[omenix]

Hey guys,

1 of my client's server got named failed to start and my client said that he failed to upgrade to CentOS 5 so he revert back to 4.5 and this is what I get from /var/log/messages

Aug 20 09:49:04 sv1 named[20943]: starting BIND 9.2.4 -u named
Aug 19 23:49:04 sv1 named[20943]: using 2 CPUs
Aug 19 23:49:04 sv1 named[20943]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
Aug 19 23:49:04 sv1 named[20943]: none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: permission denied
Aug 19 23:49:04 sv1 named[20943]: loading configuration: permission denied
Aug 19 23:49:04 sv1 named[20943]: exiting (due to fatal error)

And I believed it has nothing to do with the normal permission such as (chown named.named) problems. Is there a way that I can figure this out? Actually few services are still down

eximstats,spamd and named. Any suggestions much appreciate.
