+	</para>
+	<informalexample>
+	  <programlisting>
+% 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>
+	  This is persistent upon a reboot, so you will have to do it only once.
