With BIND-9, ndc won't even work I discovered that the unpleasant way. Typing ndc gave me a long list of socket errors and other general unhappiness. Even after quite a while, I still find myself forgetting the 'r' in ndc.

Mmm, true. For all purposes, however, rndc is the ndc of BIND9, and I doubt I'm the only DNS-admin who's typed ndc so often it's become a nervous tic :-) I didn't realise the 'ndc start' bit though. Sounds a bit like a chicken/egg situation? Life's little existential mysteries, eh? - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't CC me, I am philip@paeps.cx subscribed to the list.
