rndc: no key definition for name rncd.key

forkvoid · 12-29-2003, 03:03 AM

Using BIND 9.2.2 on Slackware 9.

Code:

# Excerpts from named.conf

key "rndc.key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "1zg8/qcbv2ihptplTr2Av+Q==";
};

controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndc.key; };
};

Code:

# rndc.conf

options {
  default-server  localhost;
  default-key     "rncd.key";
};
key "rndc.key" {
  algorithm hmac-md5;
  secret "zg8/qcbv2ihptplTr2Av+Q==";
};

Code:

# rndc.key
key "rndc-key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "zg8/qcbv2ihptplTr2Av+Q==";
};

I've been reading a doc at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...ind-rndc.html, which was telling me how to get this working. As far as I can see, it's perfectly fine, but obviously that's not the case. Anyone have any ideas?

check out the rndc key entries in key "rndc.key" section and rndc.conf section, both differ with a single digit "1" in the beginning. You can use rndc-confgen command and append the lines to the end of named.conf and rndc.conf files also. Well, just see whether it works with you version of the os. I had the same problem.

Oh, sorry. I actually added that '1' myself, to see if it would give a different error than the one it was giving(it didn't). So the error I said in my first post is with and without that '1' in the beginning of the key.

I am trying what you said with the rndc-confgen now, but it's giving me Connection Refused. I'm going to play around with it a bit more and see if I can get it to give me something different...
