I have no experience demoting BIND, but I realize I must. Making achroot'ed environment isn't as large a concern for me as just droppingroot from the daemon. My question is can I perform this task in a 'Debian'way? By that I mean can I follow a HOWTO aimed at Debian, so Apt wonttrample of my work during the next BIND update? Does anyone have amethodology for BIND8 on Debian 2.2?

I was under the impression one had to be root to bind to lower ports.Although I agree that this is a problem (not to mention a silly one) Idon't think it's a debian problem it's more of a linux problem.
