The ndc binary wants an abaolute path to the control socket, not a
relative one. It's not just you:

[root at mel run]# pwd
/chroot/ext/var/run
[root at mel run]# ls -l ./ndc
srw-------    1 root     root            0 Feb 14 14:58 ./ndc
[root at mel run]# ndc -c ndc
ndc: usage error: bad channel name (ndc)
ndc: fatal error: usage: ndc [-l localsock] [-c channel] [-p pidfile]
[-n namedpath] [-dqst] [command [args]]

[root at mel run]# ndc -c /chroot/ext/var/run/ndc
Type   help  -or-   /h   if you need help.
ndc> EOF
