[Bug 235792] [NEW] BIND 9.4.2 permission denied for custom log files

[binary.koala]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bind9

when creating custom log file configuration described in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto#head-
44482c079ef8876038306d99db040e1fcb9ea535 BIND can't write to that file:

danja at blast:/var/log$ tail /var/log/daemon.log
May 29 17:54:44 blast named[11204]: logging channel 'query' file '/var/log/query.log': permission denied
May 29 17:54:44 blast named[11204]: isc_log_open '/var/log/query.log' failed: permission denied

however permissions are set right:

danja at blast:/var/log$ ls /var/log/query.log -la
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind root 0 2008-05-29 17:26 /var/log/query.log

my current bind package is:
danja at blast:/var/log$ apt-cache policy bind9
bind9:
  Installed: 1:9.4.2-10
  Candidate: 1:9.4.2-10
  Version table:
 *** 1:9.4.2-10 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Ubuntu:
danja at blast:/var/log$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04
Release:        8.04


Somewhat this error seems similar to SELinux: http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/FAQ.php
