<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>rndc-confgen</command> generates configuration files
|
|
for <command>rndc</command>. It can be used as a
|
|
convenient alternative to writing the
|
|
<filename>rndc.conf</filename> file
|
|
and the corresponding <command>controls</command>
|
|
and <command>key</command>
|
|
statements in <filename>named.conf</filename> by hand.
|
|
Alternatively, it can be run with the <command>-a</command>
|
|
option to set up a <filename>rndc.key</filename> file and
|
|
avoid the need for a <filename>rndc.conf</filename> file
|
|
and a <command>controls</command> statement altogether.

<para>
|
|
Do automatic <command>rndc</command> configuration.
|
|
This creates a file <filename>rndc.key</filename>
|
|
in <filename>/etc</filename> (or whatever
|
|
<varname>sysconfdir</varname>
|
|
was specified as when <acronym>BIND</acronym> was built)
|
|
that is read by both <command>rndc</command>
|
|
and <command>named</command> on startup. The
|
|
<filename>rndc.key</filename> file defines a default
|
|
command channel and authentication key allowing
|
|
<command>rndc</command> to communicate with
|
|
<command>named</command> on the local host
|
|
with no further configuration.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Running <command>rndc-confgen -a</command> allows
|
|
BIND 9 and <command>rndc</command> to be used as drop-in
|
|
replacements for BIND 8 and <command>ndc</command>,
|
|
with no changes to the existing BIND 8
|
|
<filename>named.conf</filename> file.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If a more elaborate configuration than that
|
|
generated by <command>rndc-confgen -a</command>
|
|
is required, for example if rndc is to be used remotely,
|
|
you should run <command>rndc-confgen</command> without the
|
|
<command>-a</command> option and set up a
|
|
<filename>rndc.conf</filename> and
|
|
<filename>named.conf</filename>
|
|
as directed.

Specifies a source of random data for generating the

system does not provide a <filename>/dev/random</filename>
|
|
or equivalent device, the default source of randomness
|

is keyboard input. <filename>randomdev</filename> specifies

the name of a character device or file containing random

|
data to be used instead of the default. The special value
|
|
<filename>keyboard</filename> indicates that keyboard
|
|
input should be used.
