rndc: connect failed: connection refused

[Ralph]

Well Patrick, you were correct!

Seems I found lwresd in the build directory of bind, and started it,
and walllah!  Seems to me that the build process would place lwresd in
the same directory as "named"  (/usr/sbin)?  Anyway, thanks for the
advice.

I will see if I can move it to the named directory nad have it start
with named.

thanks again...hope this helps someone else with hte smae problem.
