rndc: connect failed: connection refused

I have installed 9.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.3, and seem to be unable to
start bind, or connect with rndc.

I have checked severaltutorials and messages posted here, but seem to
be missing something (??). Any help would be grately appreciated.

thanks in advane,
Ralph
