This si coming from the daily log. now miecznikowski was my preious host name and that was changed.

ANy Idea?

Check your /etc/named.conf file and make sure it has a definition for the key "rndckey" in the "controls" section and also that the key is defined somewhere in the file (usually at the top).

Ok, Ths is what I have in named.conf

key "rndckey" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "blehbleh";
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "/var/named/named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "/var/named/named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};




zone "ns1.instagator.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/ns1.instagator.com.db";

};


zone "ns2.instagator.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/ns2.instagator.com.db";
};




Everything looks fine though PS. Under SECRET on the very firs tline, I changed it to bleh bleh just so I can hide the algo heh

So I modified certain things in the named.conf and hostname and what not. But Aparch and BIND keep failing throughout the day. Here are is the log:
