Hello man, thanks for replying!

This is what I was able to extract so far ...

# netstat -Sa | grep rndc
tcp6       0      0  ::1.rndc               *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.rndc         *.*                    LISTEN

# rndc
Version: 9.3.2

# named -v
BIND 9.3.2

I can telnet localhost 953 but it doesn't get no further than to 
Escape character is '^]'.

Again, thanks a lot, cheers!

All the best,
Kyrre
