I discovered that the unpleasant way. Typing ndc gave me a long list of
socket errors and other general unhappiness. Even after quite a while, I
still find myself forgetting the 'r' in ndc. Good I have an alias :-)

Mmm, true. For all purposes, however, rndc is the ndc of BIND9, and I doubt
I'm the only DNS-admin who's typed ndc so often it's become a nervous tic :-)
I didn't realise the 'ndc start' bit though. Sounds a bit like a chicken/egg
situation? Life's little existential mysteries, eh?
