Greetings it has been a while since I have worked with named, and Ive seemed to wrap myself in a key confusion.
I had some issue with an invalid key so i ran rndc-confgen -a which gave me a new key in /etc/rndc.key. so now rndc works fine. but when looked at /etc/rndc.conf the key was different than the /etc/rndc.key. i thought they had to be the same for this to work. I'm assuming that i should replace the key the rndc.conf, or maybe it's not needed since I'm loading directly from named.conf ? any insight or flames welcome. -j config below; named.conf // // Include keys file // include "/etc/rndc.key"; controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 1234 allow { localhost; } keys { rndc-key; }; }; options { include "/usr/local/named/options"; }; logging { include "/usr/local/named/loggingOptions.conf"; }; include "/etc/dns/privateView.conf.basd"; rndc.conf # Start of rndc.conf key "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "xxx...Bmw=="; }; options { default-key "rndc-key"; default-server 127.0.0.1; default-port 1234; }; # End of rndc.conf rndc.key key "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "yyy,,,,,,3MA=="; }; ## end _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
