<a name="id2662157"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
||
<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>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
|
||
<a name="id2663316"></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 <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 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">-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.
|
||
</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 the
|
||
hash size.
|
||
</p></dd>
|
||
<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>keyfile</code></em></span></dt>

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

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

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

<dd><p>
|

Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to

<span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span>.
|
||
</p></dd>
|
||
<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.
