This is from a recent install I did of Slackware-current ( within the past
two weeks ):

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Oct  8 10:30 /var/named/

user@host#: less /etc/slackware-version
7.1.0

I downloaded it from ftp.slackware.com .

I just installed the latest slack distro from ftp.freesoftware.com, not
the ISO btw, and /var/named was world writeable.

I did a search at securityfocus and nothing popped up, has anyone else
encountered this?
