    Running Ubuntu with Webmin 1.420 - the built in Bind module starts and stops named fine. I copied all module config to b9ddns module config. On the main page it shows Named Status:   running. When I click the Stop the Name Server I get Named Status:   unknown (unknown rndc error), I know RNDC is configured properly because the other module works just fine. It does however stop the server. When I click on start the server I get the exact same error but have to go to the included module to start bind.

    Anyone got a simple answer. If not I will post more details after I go get my friend out of the hospital. Dang cell phones.

      Here is the RNDC-Conf. You will have to trust me that the keys are set right.

      # Start of rndc.conf
      key "rndc-key" {
          algorithm hmac-md5;
          secret "keyhasbeenchanged";
      };

      options {
          default-key "rndc-key";
          default-server 127.0.0.1;
          default-port 953;
      };
      # End of rndc.conf

      Here is the RNDC part of the named.conf:

      key rndc-key {
          algorithm hmac-md5;
          secret "keyhasbeenchanged";
          };
      controls {
          inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndc-key; };
          };
