DNS named permission error

[Gazoo2]

I can use some help with a DNS issue, if someone can help.

I loaded a server, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, added desktop-ubuntu to it and then followed the perfect server set up howto, and then set up DNS with the traditional DNS howto.

It seems I have a problem with permissions. In the setup I stopped apparmor, finished the set up and then when I had permission problems I removed apparmor.

Step 10

/etc/init.d/apparmor stop
update-rc.d -f apparmor remove

Can any one tell me how to look for the problem and what I might do to correct the permission problem.

Edit: I did notice "mask=r" above and I guess that is what I changed with the following steps.

chmod 666 /var/lib/named/dev/null /var/lib/named/dev/random
chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/named/var/*
chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/named/etc/bind


EDIT: after a reboot bind/DNS worked, I guess apparmor was still there till the reboot.
