The above two errors will occur when bind(named) runs for the first time, unless you generate a valid base64 string and add it to named.conf:

Code: Select all

# /usr/sbin/dns-keygen
H1Pl33tksEAXbEHq9rEfsVqxS7cCm8ie2W2Aa6UYTIGEGtXuhVFRGaIkjd6B


Copy the above string and updatenamed.conf, section key ddns_keyas follows:

Code: Select all

key ddns_key
{
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "H1Pl33tksEAXbEHq9rEfsVqxS7cCm8ie2W2Aa6UYTIGEGtXuhVFRGaIkjd6B";
};
