I am not sure if this is a FreeBSD issue or a bind issue. I asked about it on the ISC bind users list and didn't get any answers of any kind. In the domain name server software, is a method of protecting updates to domain name servers via a key used to sign the updates. The application that one can use to dynamically update a running DNS is called nsupdate and uses one of a number of different style keys. The key I am attempting to use works in other parts of the dns maintenance process so it should work with nsupdate. The documentation is straight-forward enough as to how to use one's key nsupdate -k /var/named/keys:the_key_name assuming, of course that the key is where you say it is. I always get the error I showed in the subject line no matter what I do. The only time I get a different error is if I run the command from my userID and I get an access denied error because the directory is only accessible from root. I even removed the keys temporarily and got the same error which I expected to change to a "file not found" error. Has anybody seen this behavior before and fixed it? I am running out of things to try and there is never enough time to be totally stuck.:-) DNS runs as a low-level userID but root is where I try to run the nsupdate command. I even thought nsupdate might assume the named root directory as its root, but that's not true either.
