rndc.key vs. rndc.conf



Hi All: One more conf issue on bind 9.7.1-P2

After running rndc-confgen and reloading BIND I’m getting this error:

WARNING: key file (/etc/namedb/rndc.key) exists, but using default configuration file (/etc/namedb/rndc.conf)
rndc: connection to remote host closed
This may indicate that
* the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol,
* this host is not authorized to connect,
* the clocks are not synchronized, or
* the key is invalid.

It seems like I have a valid key in both files...what do I need to change?
