Hello All,

Can someone help me with my Bind Server, I found out if i remove rndc on bind it might work, but i can't find any thread on out to do this. i am a newbie to Linux.
After configuring my Bind9, it refuses to run by giving this error msg.

WARNING: key file (/etc/bind/rndc.key) exists, but using default configuration file (/etc/bind/rndc.conf)
rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused
root@kano-a:~#

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to disable rndc, use:

Code:

controls { };

in /etc/named.conf. You can also comment out any other occurrence of rndc in /etc/named.conf.

But, I don't recommend doing that.
Since rndc is handy for managing named, better configure rndc for use with bind. See this for a quick howto

Regards
