rndc reload problems

[Li Tongxi]

Kirk:   Thanks for your reply!
   With your suggestions, I found the my machine only listen 953 port on
127.0.0.1, NOT on 192.168.1.18. So if I change the inet statement as "inet
*", I can now reload successfully both with 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.18.
   Thanks a lot for your help!
