Fix the file permissions so that the user named is running as
has permission to change the modification times.

Note 1. under linux named gives ups roots ability to override
file permissions.

Note 2. check the directory permissions as well as you obviously
have changed the way named is started from when the cache files
were created. Named needs to be able to write to all directories
containing slave/stub cache files

Hi,

First, I must say, thanx for a quick answer!

I checked the filepermissons and it was not that:(...but then I found
the problem. In my named.config I had set the subdomain to slave
without having a master dns..stupid..:) When a changed it to master
the problem disapear. Hopefully it will help somebody else..
