###########

now the name in my named.conf ,rndc.key and my rndc.conf is rndckey

and here is a port of all the files :

named.conf:

options {
directory "/conf";
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
statistics-file "/var/run/named.stats";
dump-file "/var/run/named.db";

# hide our "real" version number
version "[secured]";
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndckey; };
};

key "rndckey" {
algorithm "hmac-md5";
secret "2222255555";
};

# The root nameservers
zone "." {
type hint;
file "db.rootcache";
};

# localhost - forward zone
zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "db.localhost";
notify no;
};

# localhost - inverse zone
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
notify no;
};

thanks

You should change in rndc.conf thewith
You can also remove (or comment) theas it's superfluous.

Regards

SOLVED!!!

i ran this
#/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen
it got me a rndc.conf file
i copied it where i want it to be
then i ran
#rndc status *then i got those
number of zones: 2
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is OFF
recursive clients: 0/1000
tcp clients: 0/100
server is up and running

ok , this rndc is making my DNS requests secured right ?

No, rndc is a utility that allows you to do some kind of administration of the named server. Read the man page for what it's used for.
