<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>rndc</command> controls the operation of a name
|
|
server. It supersedes the <command>ndc</command> utility
|
|
that was provided in old BIND releases. If
|
|
<command>rndc</command> is invoked with no command line
|
|
options or arguments, it prints a short summary of the
|
|
supported commands and the available options and their
|
|
arguments.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>rndc</command> communicates with the name server
|
|
over a TCP connection, sending commands authenticated with
|
|
digital signatures. In the current versions of
|
|
<command>rndc</command> and <command>named</command> named
|
|
the only supported authentication algorithm is HMAC-MD5,
|
|
which uses a shared secret on each end of the connection.
|
|
This provides TSIG-style authentication for the command
|
|
request and the name server's response. All commands sent
|
|
over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the
|
|
server.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>rndc</command> reads a configuration file to
|
|
determine how to contact the name server and decide what
|
|
algorithm and key it should use.

<replaceable class="parameter">server</replaceable> is

the name or address of the server which matches a

server statement in the configuration file for
|

<command>rndc</command>. If no server is supplied on the
|
|
command line, the host named by the default-server clause

in the option statement of the configuration file will be

used.

<para>

Use the key <replaceable class="parameter">keyid</replaceable>

from the configuration file.
|
|
<replaceable class="parameter">keyid</replaceable> must be
|
|
known by named with the same algorithm and secret string
|
|
in order for control message validation to succeed.
|
|
If no <replaceable class="parameter">keyid</replaceable>
|
|
is specified, <command>rndc</command> will first look
|
|
for a key clause in the server statement of the server
|
|
being used, or if no server statement is present for that
|
|
host, then the default-key clause of the options statement.
|
|
Note that the configuration file contains shared secrets
|
|
which are used to send authenticated control commands
|
|
to name servers. It should therefore not have general read
|
|
or write access.
