[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?

dnsextd

dnsextd(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						dnsextd(8)

NAME

     dnsextd -- BIND Extension Daemon

SYNOPSIS

     dnsextd

DESCRIPTION

     dnsextd is a daemon invoked at boot time, running alongside BIND 9, to implement two EDNS0 extensions to the standard DNS protocol.

     dnsextd allows clients to perform DNS Updates with an attached lease lifetime, so that if the client crashes or is disconnected from the net-
     work, its address records will be automatically deleted after the lease expires.

     dnsextd allows clients to perform long-lived queries. Instead of rapidly polling the server to discover when information changes, long-lived
     queries enable a client to indicate its interest in some set of data, and then be notified asynchronously by the server whenever any of that
     data changes.

     dnsextd has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run dnsextd manually.

SEE ALSO

     mDNS(1) mDNSResponder(8)

     For information on Dynamic DNS Update, see RFC 2136 "Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System (DNS UPDATE)"

     For information on Dynamic DNS Update Leases, see http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-update-leases.txt

     For information on Long-Lived Queries, see http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-dns-llq.txt

BUGS

     dnsextd bugs are tracked in Apple Radar component "mDNSResponder".

HISTORY

     The dnsextd daemon first appeared in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
