Getting kinda odd.  Here is how /var/named gets created here:

drwxr-x---    3 root     named        4096 Dec 11 22:47 named

And here is what the .spec requests:

%attr(750,root,named) %dir /var/named

So any provable problem with that needs to get fed upstream to RH since
they very intentionally set things up owned by root:named, yet they do
create a user named and run as it.  Go figure, because it looks pretty 
loony to me.
