Description of problem: Only on the ia64 platform, dns-keygen, a Red Hat utility to generate a new hmac-md5 TSIG key, always returns a non-zero exit status. This does not occur on the i386 or x86_64 or ppc64 platforms - weird.

Luckily, the RPM installation does not check the dns-keygen return status, but system-config-bind does, so this bug disables system-config-bind key generation on the ia64 . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.2.4-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: See above
keygen.c was not returning any defined exit status - it now does.
