	Named will attempt to read /etc/rndc.key when there is no
	controls clause (to provide a default controls) or there
	is no keys clause on a controls entry (to allow a BIND 8
	named.conf to work).

	If there is a controls clause and the entries in controls
	have keys clauses the named won't read /etc/rndc.key.  It
	expects any keys to be in named.conf.

	The former is designed to be used with "rndc-confgen -a".
	The later is how things are configured if you just use
	"rndc-confgen" (no -a).
