couldn't open pid file '/var/run/named.pid': Permission denied
You are most likely running named as a non-root user, and that user
does not have permission to write in /var/run. The common ways of
fixing this are to create a /var/run/named directory owned by the named
user and set pid-file to "/var/run/named/named.pid", or set
pid-file to "named.pid", which will put the file in the directory
specified by the directory option (which, in this case, must be writable
by the named user).
