A sample rndc.conf file is distributed with this release of BIND. This file can be generated
automatically by the rndc-confgen utility, which is distributed with BIND 9.2.0. For more
information on rndc-confgen, read the rndc-confgen section above.
rndc has its own configuration file /etc/rndc.conf. A sample minimal configuration file looks
like:
key rndckey {
algorithm "hmac-md5";
secret "IbtRYdcP8k2mVtel6aYfbQ==";
};
options {
default-server localhost;
default-key rndckey;
};
This file, if installed as /etc/rndc.conf, would allow the $ rndc reload command to connect
to 127.0.0.1 port 953 and cause the nameserver to reload if a nameserver on the local
machine is running with the following controls statements:};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndckey;
