As you can tell from the above erorr, redhat's init script uses rndc to stop
named. Rndc requires the proper key to be generated (/etc/rndc.key) and
named.conf needs the proper control/acl statement added so that rndc can
actually control named. Example:
Use something like "rndc-confgen -a -b 512" to generate a new key. Further
options can be found using "man rndc-confgen"
In named.conf, add something like...
// Load the key generated by rndc-confgen.
include "/etc/rndc.key";
// Only allow localhost access from rndc
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
Note: If your running named in a chroot'd environment, be sure to copy the
key to the PATH_TO_NAMED_CHROOT/etc directory.
