rndc: connect failed: connection refused

[Ralph]

I have installed 9.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.3, and seem to be unable to
start bind, or connect with rndc.

I have checked severaltutorials and messages posted here, but seem to
be missing something (??). Any help would be grately appreciated.

thanks in advane,
Ralph

top half of named.conf =

include "/private/etc/rndc.key";

controls {
       inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost;} keys { rndc-key; };
};

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        version "Bind";
        //Forwarders send unresolved requests to my ISP
        forwarders { 206.12.28.12;
