Thanks for the reply.

It appears that you are correct, although I don't recall 
intentionally changing permissions on that file. /etc/rndc has 644 
permissions owned by root, group root here.

[root@tuxfan root]# ls -al /etc/rndc.conf
- -rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1199 Apr 20  2001 /etc/rndc.conf
[root@tuxfan root]# rpm -qf /etc/rndc.conf
bind-9.1.0-10
[root@tuxfan root]# rpm -V bind
SM5..UGT c /etc/rndc.conf

According to rpm, the permissions on that file should be 600.
[root@tuxfan root]# rpm --setperms bind
[root@tuxfan root]# ls -al /etc/rndc.conf
- -rw-------    1 root     root         1199 Apr 20  2001 /etc/rndc.conf
[root@tuxfan root]# chown root.named /etc/rndc.conf
[root@tuxfan root]# rpm -V bind
S.5..U.T c /etc/rndc.conf

Changing the permissions and ownership on /etc/rndc solved the problem.
[mfratoni@tuxfan mfratoni]$ /usr/sbin/rndc reload
rndc: /etc/rndc.conf: permission denied
