rndc problem

[Daniel Holden]

Hi
    First, thanks to phn at icke-reklam.ipsec.nu for the pointer to the
documentation (good stuff).  That was a big help.  My problem now is that I
get the following error when running "rndc stats":

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[root at localhost bin]# /usr/local/sbin/rndc stats
rndc: connection to remote host closed
This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of
the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect,
or the key is invalid.
[root at localhost bin]#
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Here is my rndc.conf:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
# Start of rndc.conf
key "rndc-key" {
 algorithm hmac-md5;
 secret "same as in rndc.key";
};

options {
 default-key "rndc-key";
 default-server "127.0.0.1";
 default-port 953;
};
# End of rndc.conf

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Here is my rndc.key
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
key "rndc-key" {
 algorithm hmac-md5;
 secret "same as in rndc.conf";
};

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


 Here is what I added to my named.conf
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
key "rndc-key" {
 algorithm hmac-md5;
 secret "same as in rndc.key and rndc.conf";
};
controls {
 inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
  allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

PS - phn at icke-reklam.ipsec.nu there seems to be some problem with your DNS.
I tried replying to your address and I got the following error message:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<phn at icke-reklam.ipsec.nu>
    (reason: 553 5.3.5 system config error)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 5.3.5 icke-reklam.ipsec.nu. config error: mail loops back to me (MX
problem?)
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error
