# I get the error message "named: capset failed: Operation not permitted" when starting named.

The capability module, part of "Linux Security Modules/LSM", has not been loaded into the kernel. See insmod(8), modprobe(8).

The relevant modules can be loaded by running:

```
modprobe commoncap
modprobe capability
```
