	The messages above indicate that named is trying to use the
	auto configuration mode of rndc (rndc-confgen -a) and failing.
	Since you are half way through the manual process you should
	complete it.

	Copy the key block above to named.conf.
	Copy and uncomment the controls block above to named.conf.

	The errors above will not stop named working.
