RDNC madness

[Jim D. Kirby]

Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately that didn't help.  In trying to get
this to work, I've run the keys from the two files through various
permutations of rndc_key, "rndc_key", "rndc", rndc, samplekey, "samplekey",
etc. both at the same times and at different times.  Always permission
denied. The samples I posted were just a poorly one of those iterations.

But as I was typing that above paragraph I thought of one more iteration;  I
changed the order of the key{} and controls{} paragraphs to put the key
first.  Wala, everything works.  Go figure.

Thanks for the help.

Your keys have different names.

"rndc" != "rndckey"
