I am reading: https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-bind-rndc.html I have bind installed and default config running. I have not applied my customizations yet. The first step I am taking is getting rndc.key created. So reading the guide I am trying to run (while logged in as root, and in /etc): dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 256 -n HOST rndc.key The system is just sitting there and doing nothing. I have sshed as another session and do not see any processing being done by dnssec-keygen. This might be a problem with the current build. Anyone else try this?
