Yet another rndc question

Hi all,

I'm not having much luck get named to start:
john at ubuntuserver:~$ sudo rndc start
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
john at ubuntuserver:~$

I have installed from source bind 9.3.2 onto ubuntu 5.10.  I have read
the documentation on the ISC site, the pages in Oreilly's DNS and Bind
and several websites but still I can't find what's wrong.  The only
thing that I see in /var/log/messages regarding bind is: 
'process `named' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT'

My named.conf entries for rndc:
include "/etc/bind/rndc.key";
controls {
       inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
       allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

My rndc.key file:
key "rndc-key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "AZf73*****iuSkAwv*****==";
};

My rndc.conf file:
options {
                default-server localhost;
                default-key "rndc-key";
};

key "rndc-key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "AZf73*****iuSkAwv*****==";
};

I also generated a key for dhcp using:
sudo dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 512 -n HOST dhcp-key and have it
installed in my dhcpd.conf with the intention of using ddns when I get
this working.

Would somebody please give me some direction on this as to what I have
set up incorrectly?

Thanks

John
