hello people,

i am trying to configure a DNS in fedora14 and i am using bind version 9.7.2-2 which is shipped by default in fedora14 dvd. i have configured dns in rhel 5. to generate ddns key in rhel 5 the command was
"/usr/sbin/dns-keygen"(bind-9.3*). but the the command in fedora 14 is "/usr/sbin/dnssec-keygen". with root user preveledges i ran the following command to generate the keys
"dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n HOST ns1.home.com"
it generated the keys. but bind refuses to to start
it shows me an error in named.conf file which says
"bad secret: bad base 64 encoding"

so i am in desperate need of some help here...

Hi,

I guess you're using the wrong key. You should post the relevant parts of named.conf and rndc.conf
Anyway, take a look here to see how to create a use a rndc key
