I am still having time out issues. what else cna I check: 1) generated new rndc key 2) copied the new rndc-kay to the rndc.conf file 3) placed the include /etc/rndc.key in the /etc/named.conf file 4) then added the controls stanza as well. > 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. > > Steve Cowles here is a copy of my /etc/rndc.conf file: -- snip --- options { default-server localhost; default-key "rndc-key"; }; server localhost { key "rndc-key"; }; key "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "<key>"; }; --- snip --- > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
