Are you using a different key for the local host for rndc than before? The keys have to match between /etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.conf. If you issue the command # service named status that is effectively doing the same thing as # rndc status If you kept your named.conf from your old installation, you might have ended up with different keys for rndc. Rndc will use the default key in its own config file. Should match the one in named.conf Also check your "controls" statement in named.conf. Should allow localhost on port 953 with the configured rndc key. The DNS and BIND book, by Albitz and Liu, has a discussion of setting up rndc on pages 145 - 147. If you provide a few more details, I might be able to help you through this. Name service problems can be real hair-puller-outters. I sympathize.
