Please read the documentation. The migration notes make it perfectly
clear that ndc has been superseded by rndc. I quote from
doc/misc/migration:


	5. Server Administration Tools

	The "ndc" program has been replaced by "rndc", which is capable of
	remote operation.  Unlike ndc, rndc requires a configuration file; 
	see the man pages in doc/man/bin/rndc.1 and doc/man/bin/rndc.conf.5 for
	details.  Some of the ndc commands are still unimplemented in rndc.
