Fatal, neither ndc or rndc was found on this server (host.domain.com).

What does this mean and how can I get ndc or rndc? I'm running freebsd 5.1

You will need to upgrade to bind 9 from ports. Make sure that you have libcrypto.so.3 located at /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 before you upgrade.

Once bind is done, read this post;

I read hrough the whole thread. I can't find what I do after i make deinstall/install bind9. I have freebsd 5.x so i shouldn't have to make a /dev/random because 5.1 doesn't use that anymore. And I can't find any port called rndc-confgen either. Now I'm getting this error

Error reloading bind on cp1: rndc: neither /etc/namedb/rndc.conf nor /etc/namedb/rndc.key was found Add Complete

Ok I've been messing around with it and I finally got it to stop saying "neither /etc/namedb/rndc.conf nor /etc/namedb/rndc.key was found" But after restarting named I get these errors.

Looks like your getting there.

You need to run,

rndc-confgen -u /dev/urandom

Then paste the result in the top of your named.conf file.
If you get a not found error when running rndc-confgen -u /dev/urandom
you need to reboot and run again.

Oct 21 23:29:50 cp1 named[75014]: dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/namedb/gillilandgroup.com.db:15: near eol: unexpected end of input

Is this the last entry in named.conf ? Make sure to hit enter after };

should look like;

zone "domain.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/namedb/domain.com.db";
};

I found this to work:

# rndc-confgen -r /dev/urandom > /etc/namedb/rndc.conf

This will create a new rndc key (Actually the whole configuration file hence the pipe to a file.

# rm -f /etc/rndc.conf;ln -s /etc/namedb/rndc.conf /etc/rndc.conf

Next, remove /etc/rndc.conf if it is there. Then create a symbolic link from /etc/namedb/rndc.conf

Edit /etc/rndc.conf and /etc/named.conf to both either have rndckey or rndc-key.

# /scripts/fixndc;/scripts/restartsrv named

If named restarts with no errors run

# /scripts/rebuildnamedconf;/scripts/upcp --force;/scripts/restartsrv named

Hopefully this will help you out.
