This reads like a problem with your /etc/bind/rndc.key file. What
does this say when you try to run the stop command manually?
# rndc stop
If that indicates a problem with the rndc.key file then check that the
contents have not been munged. Check that the file permissions have
not been munged.
The contents should look something like this but with some different
random contnes for the secret string.
An example /etc/bind/rndc.key file:
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "Zm9vIGZvbyBmb28gZm9vCg==";
};
The file permissions should look like this:
-rw-r----- 1 bind bind 77 May 3 2010 rndc.key
If you do not have the file then you can generate a new one with this
command:
# dc-confgen -r /dev/urandom -a
If you fix a problem with the rndc.key file you will need to manually
kill the named program and then restart it. After fixing the file and
restarting then named should start and stop normally again.
