Err...  Release Notes anyone?

     o The BIND nameserver has had its security tightened. The /var/named/
       directory is no longer owned by "named", but rather by "root". Slave
       zone files should now be stored in the new /var/named/slaves/
       directory, which is owned by "named". In addition, a new bind-chroot
       package makes it possible to run the named daemon in a chroot() "jail"
       (located in /var/named/chroot/) for greater security.
