+ generates configuration files

+ convenient alternative to writing the
+ <filename>rndc.conf</filename> file
+ and the corresponding <command>controls</command>
+ and <command>key</command>
+ statements in <filename>named.conf</filename> by hand.
+ Alternatively, it can be run with the <command>-a</command>
+ option to set up a <filename>rndc.key</filename> file and
+ avoid the need for a <filename>rndc.conf</filename> file
+ and a <command>controls</command> statement altogether.

+ Do automatic <command>rndc</command> configuration.
+ This creates a file <filename>rndc.key</filename>
+ in <filename>/etc</filename> (or whatever
+ <varname>sysconfdir</varname>
+ was specified as when <acronym>BIND</acronym> was
+ built)
+ that is read by both <command>rndc</command>
+ and <command>named</command> on startup. The
+ <filename>rndc.key</filename> file defines a default
+ command channel and authentication key allowing
+ <command>rndc</command> to communicate with
+ <command>named</command> on the local host
+ with no further configuration.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Running <command>rndc-confgen -a</command> allows
+ BIND 9 and <command>rndc</command> to be used as
+ drop-in
+ replacements for BIND 8 and <command>ndc</command>,
+ with no changes to the existing BIND 8
+ <filename>named.conf</filename> file.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If a more elaborate configuration than that
+ generated by <command>rndc-confgen -a</command>
+ is required, for example if rndc is to be used remotely,
+ you should run <command>rndc-confgen</command> without

+ as directed.

+ choices are: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256,
+ hmac-sha384 and hmac-sha512. The default is hmac-md5 or

+ <term>-b <replaceable class="parameter">keysize</replaceable></term>

+ <term>-r <replaceable class="parameter">randomfile</replaceable></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Specifies a source of random data for generating the
+ authorization. If the operating
+ system does not provide a <filename>/dev/random</filename>
+ or equivalent device, the default source of randomness
+ is keyboard input. <filename>randomdev</filename>
+ specifies
+ the name of a character device or file containing random
