Eh? I told you that you had to use rndc if you wanted to manage a
BIND9 server and that this required key{} statements in named.conf and
rndc.conf, just like it says in the documentation. You also needed a
controls{} statement in named.conf. That's documented too. It is
possible to run a BIND9 server without these things: it's just not
very useful because the only think that can be done with the server is
to stop it by killing the process. I also told you that the keys and
control channel had no bearing whatsoever on zone transfers.

As for your claim that zone transfers don't work, you have presented
no evidence at all supporting this. I gave you a list of things to
check. So far you've not said anything about whether you have carried
out those tests or what they have shown. So if you want help, present
the facts: my config file is ...., the logs say ...., when I do ....,
querying the server dig shows ... You've not done this
