I followed the instructions for setting up random as per the instructions at the end of the bind install. the instructions say to add the rndc-key in my namd.conf. I was wondering if that is a good idea? Doesn't this file get quarried by people on the Internet. So am I basically just showing my secret key to everyone? Thank you, Joshua Lewis
