rndc -- connection refused

[david.tansley at acelondon.co.uk]

I am trying to configure the rnds utility. But I always get  'connection
refused'.

I have ran dnssec-keygen to generate the files. I have used the contents from
the private file as the secret.
In my /etc/rnds.conf, I have;

options {
    default-server  localhost;
    default-key     "rndc_key";
};

server localhost {
    key     "rndc_key";
};

key "rndc_key" {
    algorithm hmac-md5;
    secret "BivytJga3nHJ2GR4GLH00A==";
};


In my /etc/named.conf, I have;
controls {
 inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys (rndc_key; };
}

key "rndc_key" {
alogorithm      hmac-md5;
secret "BivytJga3nHJ2GR4GLH00A==";
};


Any pointers as to what I am doing wrong.

regards
David.
