USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ   RSS TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
named      151  0.0  1.0  6760  7880 ??  Ss   28May03   5:14.74 /usr/pkg/sbin/named -u named -t /var/chroot/named 

It takes "-u username".  Sadly the "-g" flag is used for something
else. (Grumble)

I've been running named9 ever since one of the early TSIG exploits on
bind8 a few years ago.  It seems to work well enough for low-usage
sites.  I understand that the high volume sites like the root servers
don't like it as much because it uses more resources.
