[OpenBSD] DNS startup problem
I have the DNS files set up on my OpenBSD 4.0 amd64 system however when I run named, I get the following error in my logs:

Code:
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: starting BIND 9.3.2-P1
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: /etc/named.conf:25: change directory to '/var/named' failed: file not found
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: /etc/named.conf:25: parsing failed
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: loading configuration: file not found
Sep 23 10:43:03 grunty named[11608]: exiting (due to fatal error)

The directory "/var/named" exists:

Code:
drwxr-xr-x   7 root    named      512 Sep 23 11:06 named

And the subdirectories also exist:

Code:
# ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x   7 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:06 .
drwxr-xr-x  24 root  wheel  512 Aug 12 08:47 ..
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 dev
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 etc
drwxrwxr-x   3 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 master
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 slave
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  named  512 Sep 23 11:05 standard

named.conf exists in /var/named/etc:

Code:
# ls -al
total 20
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  named   512 Sep 23 11:05 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 root  named   512 Sep 23 11:06 ..
-rw-r-----  1 root  named  1617 Sep 16  2006 named-dual.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root  named  1407 Sep 16  2006 named-simple.conf
-r--r-----  1 root  named  1973 Sep 23 09:57 named.conf
# pwd
/var/named/etc

As near as I can tell, permissions and directories are all accurate. I've tried moving the directories under /var/named/var/named in case named chroot's before reading the config file but I get the same result.

I've done some poking around on Google and the answers all seem to be "does /var/named/etc exist" and "what are the permissions". I believe I've covered those questions here.

So, any other ideas?
