well you need a port statement on which named will listen. For example :
controls {
	inet * port 953
	allow { any; }; 
};

This is pretty clear when you run rndc-confgen(8). And if I were you, I
won't let anyone in the world control my named server remotely without
restriction. This is Really Bad(tm). I'd use a shared key at the least.

Just my 0.02euros.
