options {
        directory  "/var/named/my.net";
        };
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"{
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};
..
..
..so on..
this is the starting of my rndc.conf file...
when i use rndc to start/stop/reload server. it gives the err as follows
"/etc/rndc.conf:2: syntax error near '<quoted string>'
rndc: /etc/rndc.conf: failure"

i wonder y does it act like that???
i mail this issue before and some one replyed that "why am i using rndc
to start and stop the server"...
but r v not suppose to reload/start/hault with the rndc..??
or just killing the named demon..and starting it again..?
please help..

thanks 
simmen
