Question on /var/named permissions

I was looking in the /var/log/messages and saw messages about permission 
when righting named files to /var/named. In looking, I found the directories 
have root as the owner with rwx or rw but named was group with r-x or r--.
Changed the mode so named group had same rights as owner, and 
messages no longer show up. 

Just use the caching named, and this machine was upgraded to 14 from 12, 
so not sure if this is an issue with upgrade versus clean install.
