[ILUG-BOM] bind / named error

Hi, I am trying to set up DNS server (bind) on fedora core 2 (kernel 2.6) I got the following error:

code:

t@localhost nag2]# named -g Jun 26 22:00:47.841 starting BIND 9.2.3 -g Jun 26 22:00:47.842 using 1 CPU Jun 26 22:00:47.845 loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Jun 26 22:00:47.846 listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Jun 26 22:00:47.848 command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Jun 26 22:00:47.849 ignoring config file logging statement due to -g option Jun 26 22:00:47.849 couldn't open pid file '/var/run/named/named.pid': Permission denied Jun 26 22:00:47.849 exiting (due to early fatal error)

I have chmod named.pid to 777 and running 'named' as root

Please help me out.
