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

<a name="id2525957"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
|
|
<div class="variablelist"><dl>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-a</span></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do automatic <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> configuration.
|
|
This creates a file <code class="filename">rndc.key</code>
|
|
in <code class="filename">/etc</code> (or whatever
|
|
<code class="varname">sysconfdir</code>
|
|
was specified as when <span class="acronym">BIND</span> was built)
|
|
that is read by both <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>
|
|
and <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> on startup. The
|
|
<code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file defines a default
|
|
command channel and authentication key allowing
|
|
<span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> to communicate with
|
|
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> on the local host
|
|
with no further configuration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Running <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen -a</strong></span> allows
|
|
BIND 9 and <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> to be used as drop-in
|
|
replacements for BIND 8 and <span><strong class="command">ndc</strong></span>,
|
|
with no changes to the existing BIND 8
|
|
<code class="filename">named.conf</code> file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If a more elaborate configuration than that
|
|
generated by <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen -a</strong></span>
|
|
is required, for example if rndc is to be used remotely,
|
|
you should run <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span> without the
|
|
<span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option and set up a
|
|
<code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> and
|
|
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>
|
|
as directed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>keysize</code></em></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>
|
|
Specifies the size of the authentication key in bits.
|
|
Must be between 1 and 512 bits; the default is 128.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>keyfile</code></em></span></dt>

an alternate location for <code class="filename">rndc.key</code>.

|

<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
|

<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>keyname</code></em></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>
|
|
Specifies the key name of the rndc authentication key.
|
|
This must be a valid domain name.
|
|
The default is <code class="constant">rndc-key</code>.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>
|
|
Specifies the command channel port where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
|
|
listens for connections from <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>.
|
|
The default is 953.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-r <em class="replaceable"><code>randomfile</code></em></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>
|
|
Specifies a source of random data for generating the
|
|
authorization. If the operating
|
|
system does not provide a <code class="filename">/dev/random</code>
|
|
or equivalent device, the default source of randomness
|
|
is keyboard input. <code class="filename">randomdev</code> specifies
|
|
the name of a character device or file containing random
|
|
data to be used instead of the default. The special value
|
|
<code class="filename">keyboard</code> indicates that keyboard
|
|
input should be used.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>address</code></em></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>
|
|
Specifies the IP address where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
|
|
listens for command channel connections from
|
|
<span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>. The default is the loopback
|
|
address 127.0.0.1.

</p></dd>

<dt><span class="term">-t <em class="replaceable"><code>chrootdir</code></em></span></dt>

<dd><p>
|
|
Used with the <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option to specify
|
|
a directory where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will run
|
|
chrooted. An additional copy of the <code class="filename">rndc.key</code>
|
|
will be written relative to this directory so that
|
|
it will be found by the chrooted <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><span class="term">-u <em class="replaceable"><code>user</code></em></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>
|
|
Used with the <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option to set the owner
|
|
of the <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file generated. If
|
|
<span><strong class="command">-t</strong></span> is also specified only the file in
|
|
the chroot area has its owner changed.
