I actually have the most recent o'reilly bind book, but hopefully this is just a simple error. I followed the directions in the article (with bind9 just compiled), however, i get this in my system log on os x 10.2.5 Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: listening on IPv4 interface lo0, 127.0.0.1#53 Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: listening on IPv4 interface en0, 192.168.1.107#53 Apr 30 18:20:46 howard ntpdate[288]: ntpdate 4.1.1@1.786 Sun Jul 14 03:19:16 PDT 2002 (1) Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: none:0: open: /usr/local/bind9/etc/rndc.key: file not found Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file not found Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: none:0: open: /usr/local/bind9/etc/rndc.key: file not found Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: couldn't add command channel ::1#953: file not found Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: entropy.c:280: unexpected error: Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: fcntl(10, F_SETFL, 4): Operation not supported by device Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: could not open entropy source /dev/random: unexpected error Apr 30 18:20:46 howard named[265]: couldn't open pid file '/usr/local/bind9/var/run/named.pid': No su ch file or directory any ideas??? i'm gonna look it up later to see what went wrong, but any hints would be most appreciated.

  Hi,
  When Istarted my DNS sever,it works properly. After a few days it fails and I got an error message:
  
  Dec 18 16:01:54 eagle named[252]: [ID 873579 daemon.error] none:0: open: /etc/rndc.key: file not found
  Dec 18 16:01:54 eagle named[252]: [ID 873579 daemon.notice] couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file not found
  
  So how can i fix it? I expect your immediate reply. Thanks!

  I got this same set of errors as well. Reading from the ISC web site ( http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9.html ): OS X 10.1.4 (Darwin 5.4) reports errors like "fcntl(3, F_SETFL, 4): Operation not supported by device". This is due to a bug in "/dev/random" and impacts the server's DNSSEC support.
  
  I'm running 10.2.6 (Darwin Kernel Version 6.5) and I still see it. How did the author get it to work??

  Hi,
  I seem to be getting some of the errors from above:
  
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: starting BIND 9.2.3 -c /etc/named.conf
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: using 1 CPU
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: listening on IPv4 interface lo0, 127.0.0.1#53
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: listening on IPv4 interface en1, 10.0.1.4#53
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: none:0: open: /usr/local/bind9/etc/rndc.key: file not found
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: /etc/named.conf:7: couldn't install keys for command channel 127.0.0.1#54: file not found
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: /etc/named.conf:7: couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#54: file not found
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: couldn't open pid file '/usr/local/bind9/var/run/named.pid': No such file or directory
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: exiting (due to early fatal error)
  
  I added the var/run directories under /usr/local/bind9 and it starts up fine, but still no luck with the etc/rndc.key file. Can you explain these problems? Author?
  
  Thanks for the great article!

  Here: http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/17133
  
  You'll find a post which discusses what rndc does and why you're seeing that error.

  Hi! Thanks for the quick response. I now understand the rndc error. As for the other error:
  
  ==========
  
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: couldn't open pid file '/usr/local/bind9/var/run/named.pid': No such file or directory
  Dec 3 21:40:52 localhost named[527]: exiting (due to early fatal error)
  
  ===========
  
  Why is it trying to put the pid file under the install directory. I thought the default configuration for the named.pid was in /var/run?
  
  Did I miss something in the compilation?
  
  Any input is greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks!

  Create folder:
  mkdir /var/pid/

  I had the same problem. Uncommenting:
  
  controls {
  unix "/var/run/ndc" perm 0600 owner 0 group 0;
  inet 127.0.0.1 port 54 allow {any; };
  };
  
  in /etc/named.conf seems to have fixed it. I still see some errors in the system log, but named starts.
