+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBrndc\-confgen\fR
+generates configuration files for
+\fBrndc\fR\&. It can be used as a convenient alternative to writing the
+rndc\&.conf
+file and the corresponding
+\fBcontrols\fR
+and
+\fBkey\fR
+statements in
+named\&.conf
+by hand\&. Alternatively, it can be run with the
+\fB\-a\fR
+option to set up a
+rndc\&.key
+file and avoid the need for a
+rndc\&.conf
+file and a
+\fBcontrols\fR
+statement altogether\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\-a
+.RS 4
+Do automatic
+\fBrndc\fR
+configuration\&. This creates a file
+rndc\&.key
+in
+/etc
+(or whatever
+\fIsysconfdir\fR
+was specified as when
+BIND
+was built) that is read by both
+\fBrndc\fR
+and
+\fBnamed\fR
+on startup\&. The
+rndc\&.key
+file defines a default command channel and authentication key allowing
+\fBrndc\fR
+to communicate with
+\fBnamed\fR
+on the local host with no further configuration\&.
+.sp
+Running
+\fBrndc\-confgen \-a\fR
+allows BIND 9 and
+\fBrndc\fR
+to be used as drop\-in replacements for BIND 8 and
+\fBndc\fR, with no changes to the existing BIND 8
+named\&.conf
+file\&.
+.sp
+If a more elaborate configuration than that generated by
+\fBrndc\-confgen \-a\fR
+is required, for example if rndc is to be used remotely, you should run
+\fBrndc\-confgen\fR
+without the
+\fB\-a\fR
+option and set up a
+rndc\&.conf
+and
+named\&.conf
+as directed\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-A \fIalgorithm\fR
+.RS 4
+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\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-b \fIkeysize\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies the size of the authentication key in bits\&. Must be between 1 and 512 bits; the default is the hash size\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-c \fIkeyfile\fR
+.RS 4
+Used with the
+\fB\-a\fR
+option to specify an alternate location for
+rndc\&.key\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-h
+.RS 4
+Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
+\fBrndc\-confgen\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-k \fIkeyname\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies the key name of the rndc authentication key\&. This must be a valid domain name\&. The default is
+\fBrndc\-key\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-p \fIport\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies the command channel port where
+\fBnamed\fR
+listens for connections from
+\fBrndc\fR\&. The default is 953\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-r \fIrandomfile\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies a source of random data for generating the authorization\&. If the operating system does not provide a
+/dev/random
+or equivalent device, the default source of randomness is keyboard input\&.
+randomdev
+specifies the name of a character device or file containing random data to be used instead of the default\&. The special value
+keyboard
+indicates that keyboard input should be used\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-s \fIaddress\fR
+.RS 4
+Specifies the IP address where
+\fBnamed\fR
+listens for command channel connections from
+\fBrndc\fR\&. The default is the loopback address 127\&.0\&.0\&.1\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-t \fIchrootdir\fR
+.RS 4
+Used with the
+\fB\-a\fR
+option to specify a directory where
+\fBnamed\fR
+will run chrooted\&. An additional copy of the
+rndc\&.key
+will be written relative to this directory so that it will be found by the chrooted
+\fBnamed\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-u \fIuser\fR
+.RS 4
+Used with the
+\fB\-a\fR
+option to set the owner of the
+rndc\&.key
+file generated\&. If
+\fB\-t\fR
+is also specified only the file in the chroot area has its owner changed\&.
+.RE
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+To allow
+\fBrndc\fR
+to be used with no manual configuration, run
+.PP
+\fBrndc\-confgen \-a\fR
+.PP
+To print a sample
+rndc\&.conf
+file and corresponding
+\fBcontrols\fR
+and
+\fBkey\fR
+statements to be manually inserted into
+named\&.conf, run
+.PP
