Thanks for the quick response!
I ran “sudo rndc status” on the box in question and on a test VM that’s configured almost identically to the box in question. Both had very similar output. Here’s the output from the box in question: version: BIND 9.18.28-0ubuntu0.22.04.1-Ubuntu (Extended Support Version) <id:> running on localhost: Linux x86_64 5.15.0-124-generic #134-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 27 20:20:17 UTC 2024 boot time: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 01:16:08 GMT last configured: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 01:16:08 GMT configuration file: /etc/bind/named.conf CPUs found: 4 worker threads: 4 UDP listeners per interface: 4 number of zones: 7 (0 automatic) debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers deferred: 0 soa queries in progress: 0 query logging is ON recursive clients: 0/900/1000 tcp clients: 0/150 TCP high-water: 0 server is up and running Does this mean the box is ok as is? From: Eric <e...@digitalert.net> Trying using rndc to see if it's broke. rndc status You may need to add a path to the rndc binary if it's not in your $PATH env vars. Or maybe -c to the location of your rndc config. In your named.conf you should have a rndc statement with the key name and value. You can recreate your rndc config / key with that if needed.

I’m currently using BIND 9.18.28. I'm currently setting up BIND on another box (as a secondary DNS server) and accidentally just ran "sudo rndc-confgen -a" on the first box. From what I can tell, running this command overwrote the previously installed "/etc/bind/rndc.key" file with a new one. I'm vaguely familiar with rndc but don't think I've ever used it directly. It is possible the BIND tools I typically use call it. Anyway, the first box *seems* to still be working normally. Questions: Did I break anything by running "rndc-confgen"? Is there anything else I need to do on the first box to move forward with the new key file? Or should I restore the key file from a backup? Thanks in advance! Luis
