|
||
|
||
<p><span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span>
|
||
generates configuration files
|
||
for <span class="command"><strong>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 class="command"><strong>controls</strong></span>
|
||
and <span class="command"><strong>key</strong></span>
|
||
statements in <code class="filename">named.conf</code> by hand.
|
||
Alternatively, it can be run with the <span class="command"><strong>-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 class="command"><strong>controls</strong></span> statement altogether.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="refsection">

||
<a name="id-1.14.29.8"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
|
||
<dt><span class="term">-a</span></dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Do automatic <span class="command"><strong>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 <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> was
|
||
built)
|
||
that is read by both <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
|
||
and <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> on startup. The
|
||
<code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file defines a default
|
||
command channel and authentication key allowing
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> to communicate with
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> on the local host
|
||
with no further configuration.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Running <span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen -a</strong></span> allows
|
||
BIND 9 and <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> to be used as
|
||
drop-in
|
||
replacements for BIND 8 and <span class="command"><strong>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 class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen -a</strong></span>
|
||
is required, for example if rndc is to be used remotely,
|
||
you should run <span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span> without
|
||
the
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>-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">-A <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em></span></dt>
|
||
<dd>
|

<p>
|
||
Specifies the algorithm to use for the TSIG key. Available
|
||
choices are: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256,
|
||
hmac-sha384 and hmac-sha512. The default is hmac-md5 or
|
||
if MD5 was disabled hmac-sha256.

|

<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>keysize</code></em></span></dt>
|

Specifies the size of the authentication key in bits.
|
||
Must be between 1 and 512 bits; the default is the
|
||
hash size.

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>.

<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em></span></dt>

Specifies the command channel port where <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
|

listens for connections from <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>.
|

The default is 953.

</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.

<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>address</code></em></span></dt>

<p>
|

Specifies the IP address where <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
|
||
listens for command channel connections from
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>. The default is the loopback
|
||
address 127.0.0.1.

Used with the <span class="command"><strong>-a</strong></span> option to specify
|

a directory where <span class="command"><strong>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 class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.

Used with the <span class="command"><strong>-a</strong></span> option to set the

owner
|

of the <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file generated.
|

If

<span class="command"><strong>-t</strong></span> is also specified only the file

the chroot area has its owner changed.
