+% sudo rndc-confgen > /etc/rndc.conf</programlisting>
+ </informalexample>
+ <para>
+ Copy the key statement from /etc/rndc.conf into /etc/rndc.key, e.g.:
+ </para>
+ <informalexample>
+ <programlisting>
+key "rndc-key" {
+ algorithm hmac-md5;
+ secret "uvceheVuqf17ZwIcTydddw==";
+};</programlisting>
+ </informalexample>
+ <para>
+ Then start the relevant service:
+ </para>
+ <informalexample>
+ <programlisting>
+% sudo service org.isc.named start</programlisting>
+ </informalexample>
+ <para>
