In the case of ndc, you probably only really need whatever user to
have write access to the ndc socket, usually /var/run/ndc.  You
*should* be able to put something like this in named.conf to let users
in group 53 (as an example) control named:

    controls {
        unix "/var/run/ndc" perm 0660 owner 53 group 53;
    };

YMMV.
