Of course it won't. It's the name server's job to create the control
socket/FIFO and listen for ndc sending it commands via that
socket. ndc assumes the socket was set up by the name server. Did you
put a controls{} statement in named.conf to get the server to create
that control socket? An "ndc start" is a special case because there's
no socket because there's no name server running. This just causes a
named process to be created.
