Hey there! It seems like there are permissions problems on the server. Can you send me the output of the following command on the system?

ls -ld /var/named

That's where I would start looking for issues like this, but I'd expect to see the following:

# ls -ld /var/named
drwxr-xr-x 9 named named 4096 Jan 15 00:48 /var/named/

ls -ld /var/named
drwxr-xr-x 6 named named 4096 Jan 15 22:21 /var/named

Do you see anything additional in /var/log/messages? That's where named would log errors, so it could have more details that would be helpful.

I see there is another failure in there for the Greylisting service. Could you submit a ticket to our team so we can check that? Make sure to mention that there are service failures in the subject line and we'll get on that as quickly as possible.
