It's copying the encryption key from the named configuration to the rndc configuration. >Also, what about the rndc: neither /private/etc/rndc.conf error? rndc uses either of two configuration files, either rndc.conf (a file with lots of options, plus a key) or rndc.key (a file with just a key, which assumes default values for all the options). Both are in /private/etc; /etc is a symlink to /private/etc, meaning that you can almost always refer to it as /etc, omitting the /private directory name. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy
