--------
Write a wrapper in C or Perl and make it suid root (or whatever the owner of

your in.named is). Shell scripts won't work, though.

--------
You should be able to do this with sudo. Just give that user privileges to
use
kill, or if you only want them to be able to "kill" in.named write a script
that
will find the pid for in.named and give them privileges to run that script.
Check out http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/

--------
Just install sudo; life will be much easier.

--------
try su or sudo
su -c kill -HUP pid#
or sudo with rights to ndc restart

--------
Use your crontab to restart in.named every 2 or 3 hours.
