+ </para>
+ <informalexample>
+ <programlisting>
+% sudo rndc-confgen -a</programlisting>
+ </informalexample>
+ <para>
+ Then start the relevant service:
+ </para>
+ <informalexample>
+ <programlisting>
+% sudo service org.isc.named start</programlisting>
+ </informalexample>
+ <para>
+ Named will look for /etc/rndc.key when it starts if it
+ doesn't have a controls section or the existing controls are
+ missing keys sub-clauses. This is persistent upon a
+ reboot, so you will have to do it only once.
