managed-keys-zone file not found

But you don't have managed-keys or dnssec-lookaside auto configured, right?
I was confused, and thought you did.  If you had, that would mean this bug
was fairly serious, because it would mean your managed keys weren't stored
permanently.

My statement about the expected behavior (i.e., that you'd see this log
message only on the first start, and not thereafter) turns out to be true
only if there's actually a managed key that needs maintaining.  If you
don't have any such keys, named won't create a file to save them in--but,
oops, it still tries to load the file on startup, and so it always logs
the "file not found" message.

This is essentially a cosmetic bug, and will be fixed in a future release.
You can work around it, as others have mentioned, by touching the file so
that named will shut up, or you can ignore it.

Thanks for your help with it.
