I have tried in setting the root permission for that particular script but not working. Moreover putting root permission for a php script is also not good security wise. Can anuone help me??????

could you change the user in the php script... like exec("su password") or something like that?

$exec = "su password\n"; //or whatever the syntax is...
$exec .= "/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart\n";

exec($exec);

i don't even know if that sort of thing will work, but let me know.
