I thought that file was just for connection between the named server
and rndc clients.  I didn't think it had anything to do with DNSSEC at
all.  Am I wrong?

I'm talking about keys for signing a zone, in files having names like
Kuddeborg.se.+005+16744.key and Kuddeborg.se.+005+16744.private
respectively.

Well, I haven't been able to run dnssec-signzone without having both
the private and public keys in the same directory.  But maybe I just
haven't figured these things out?  These DNSSEC tools are new to me.
