named -u -t

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	The answer to this is the read the documentation that comes
	with BIND 9, in particular the Administators Reference
	Manual.  Pointers also exist in doc/misc/migration.

	You could also search the archives of this list (bind-users) 
	and the bind9-users list  for "rndc" and "connection refused".
