        I have posted this message to the bind discussion list
and to the FreeBSD questions list with no response so my
apologies to anyone who has already read this.

        I am trying to get nsupdate to work in order to be able
to use ddns with bind9.2.1. When I call

nsupdate -d -k /var/named/keys:key_name_file I get no other result than
dst_read_key: error reading key . The /var/named/keys directory
is there and the key_name_file pair is in that directory, no
question about it. The system is using FreeBSD4.5 and another
Freebsd4.5 platform shows precisely the same behavior.

        The -d flag for nsupdate does not provide any more
information and I do get the same error if the files are removed
from the key-holding directory so it sounds as if nsupdate isn't
finding the files.

        The documentation on the ISC web site in the FAQ's
section is clear and shows the following example:

                                             Nominum Resources FAQs (p18 of 20)
> Then, you will need to copy both key files into a location on the
> client system. (using /var/named/tsig as example). Finally, you need
> to run the command:
> nsupdate -k /var/named/tsig:tsig-key.

        I do all that and get
dst_read_key: error reading key
no matter whether the files are there or not on two different
systems.

        Has anybody else seen this behavior? I am running out of
things to try. The lack of any responses tells me that I am
either doing something so stupid as to not deserve a response or
that this does not happen often. I don't have access to a
non-Freebsd platform to try the same command on.

        I suspect I have misinterpreted an instruction and have
run out of things to try.

        Many thanks for any constructive ideas.
