Also ensure that you have not firewalled out tcp/953 and udp/953 on your
local/loopback interface, as this is the port that rndc uses to
communicate (and the Debian bind management scripts do use rndc - and do
give the 'connection refused' errors that you describe where
communication is impossible.
