I do also run named as nonroot permissions (Startup
/usr/sbin/named -u user -g group). I recommend other people
doing this as well.

This isnt one to do blindly as it means named cannot bind to interfaces
that appear dynamically (eg as a DNS cache on a terminal server). The
fact that you end up having to run named as root or with the relevant
capability to allow it to bind to low ports.
