+
+ <p><span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
+ controls the operation of a name
+ server. It supersedes the <span class="command"><strong>ndc</strong></span> utility
+ that was provided in old BIND releases. If
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> 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.
+ </p>
+ <p><span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
+ communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending
+ commands authenticated with digital signatures. In the current
+ versions of
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>,
+ the only supported authentication algorithms are HMAC-MD5
+ (for compatibility), HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA224, HMAC-SHA256
+ (default), HMAC-SHA384 and HMAC-SHA512.
+ They use 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.
+ </p>
+ <p><span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
+ reads a configuration file to
+ determine how to contact the name server and decide what
+ algorithm and key it should use.
+ </p>

+
+ <p>
+ A list of commands supported by <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> can
+ be seen by running <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> without arguments.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Currently supported commands are:
+ </p>
+
+ <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
+<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>addzone <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>] <em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> </code></strong></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Add a zone while the server is running. This
+ command requires the
+ <span class="command"><strong>allow-new-zones</strong></span> option to be set
+ to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>. The
+ <em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> string
+ specified on the command line is the zone
+ configuration text that would ordinarily be
+ placed in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The configuration is saved in a file called
+ <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>.nzf</code>,
+ where <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> is the
+ name of the view, or if it contains characters
+ that are incompatible with use as a file name, a
+ cryptographic hash generated from the name
+ of the view.
+ When <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> is
+ restarted, the file will be loaded into the view
+ configuration, so that zones that were added
+ can persist after a restart.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This sample <span class="command"><strong>addzone</strong></span> command
+ would add the zone <code class="literal">example.com</code>
+ to the default view:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc addzone example.com '{ type master; file "example.com.db"; };'</code></strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ (Note the brackets and semi-colon around the zone
+ configuration text.)
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ See also <span class="command"><strong>rndc delzone</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>rndc modzone</strong></span>.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>delzone [<span class="optional">-clean</span>] <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>] </code></strong></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Delete a zone while the server is running.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If the <code class="option">-clean</code> argument is specified,
+ the zone's master file (and journal file, if any)
+ will be deleted along with the zone. Without the
+ <code class="option">-clean</code> option, zone files must
+ be cleaned up by hand. (If the zone is of
+ type "slave" or "stub", the files needing to
+ be cleaned up will be reported in the output
+ of the <span class="command"><strong>rndc delzone</strong></span> command.)
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If the zone was originally added via
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc addzone</strong></span>, then it will be
+ removed permanently. However, if it was originally
+ configured in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, then
+ that original configuration is still in place; when
+ the server is restarted or reconfigured, the zone will
+ come back. To remove it permanently, it must also be
+ removed from <code class="filename">named.conf</code>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ See also <span class="command"><strong>rndc addzone</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>rndc modzone</strong></span>.

+<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>dnstap ( -reopen | -roll [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>number</code></em></span>] )</code></strong></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Close and re-open DNSTAP output files.
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc dnstap -reopen</strong></span> allows the output
+ file to be renamed externally, so
+ that <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> can truncate and re-open it.
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc dnstap -roll</strong></span> causes the output file
+ to be rolled automatically, similar to log files; the most
+ recent output file has ".0" appended to its name; the
+ previous most recent output file is moved to ".1", and so on.
+ If <em class="replaceable"><code>number</code></em> is specified, then the
+ number of backup log files is limited to that number.

+ the dump file for the specified views. If no view
+ is specified, all views are dumped.

+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Suspend updates to a dynamic zone. If no zone is
+ specified, then all zones are suspended. This allows
+ manual edits to be made to a zone normally updated by
+ dynamic update. It also causes changes in the
+ journal file to be synced into the master file.
+ All dynamic update attempts will be refused while
+ the zone is frozen.
+ </p>

+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>halt [<span class="optional">-p</span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Stop the server immediately. Recent changes
+ made through dynamic update or IXFR are not saved to
+ the master files, but will be rolled forward from the
+ journal files when the server is restarted.
+ If <code class="option">-p</code> is specified <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>'s process id is returned.
+ This allows an external process to determine when <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
+ had completed halting.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ See also <span class="command"><strong>rndc stop</strong></span>.
+ </p>
+ </dd>

+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Fetch all DNSSEC keys for the given zone
+ from the key directory. If they are within

+ zone's DNSKEY RRset. Unlike <span class="command"><strong>rndc
+ sign</strong></span>, however, the zone is not
+ immediately re-signed by the new keys, but is
+ allowed to incrementally re-sign over time.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This command requires that the
+ <span class="command"><strong>auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option
+ be set to <code class="literal">maintain</code>,
+ and also requires the zone to be configured to
+ allow dynamic DNS.
+ (See "Dynamic Update Policies" in the Administrator

+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Modify the configuration of a zone while the server
+ is running. This command requires the
+ <span class="command"><strong>allow-new-zones</strong></span> option to be
+ set to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>. As with
+ <span class="command"><strong>addzone</strong></span>, the
+ <em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> string
+ specified on the command line is the zone
+ configuration text that would ordinarily be
+ placed in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If the zone was originally added via
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc addzone</strong></span>, the configuration

+ However, if it was originally configured in
+ <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, then that original
+ configuration is still in place; when the server is

+ its original configuration. To make the changes
+ permanent, it must also be modified in
+ <code class="filename">named.conf</code>

+ <em class="replaceable"><code>domain</code></em>

+ </code></strong></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Sets a DNSSEC negative trust anchor (NTA)
+ for <code class="option">domain</code>, with a lifetime of
+ <code class="option">duration</code>. The default lifetime is
+ configured in <code class="filename">named.conf</code> via the
+ <code class="option">nta-lifetime</code> option, and defaults to
+ one hour. The lifetime cannot exceed one week.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A negative trust anchor selectively disables
+ DNSSEC validation for zones that are known to be
+ failing because of misconfiguration rather than
+ an attack. When data to be validated is
+ at or below an active NTA (and above any other
+ configured trust anchors), <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> will
+ abort the DNSSEC validation process and treat the data as
+ insecure rather than bogus. This continues until the
+ NTA's lifetime is elapsed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ NTAs persist across restarts of the <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> server.
+ The NTAs for a view are saved in a file called
+ <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>.nta</code>,
+ where <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> is the
+ name of the view, or if it contains characters
+ that are incompatible with use as a file name, a
+ cryptographic hash generated from the name
+ of the view.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ An existing NTA can be removed by using the
+ <code class="option">-remove</code> option.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ An NTA's lifetime can be specified with the
+ <code class="option">-lifetime</code> option. TTL-style
+ suffixes can be used to specify the lifetime in
+ seconds, minutes, or hours. If the specified NTA
+ already exists, its lifetime will be updated to the
+ new value. Setting <code class="option">lifetime</code> to zero
+ is equivalent to <code class="option">-remove</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If the <code class="option">-dump</code> is used, any other arguments
+ are ignored, and a list of existing NTAs is printed
+ (note that this may include NTAs that are expired but
+ have not yet been cleaned up).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Normally, <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> will periodically
+ test to see whether data below an NTA can now be
+ validated (see the <code class="option">nta-recheck</code> option
+ in the Administrator Reference Manual for details).
+ If data can be validated, then the NTA is regarded as
+ no longer necessary, and will be allowed to expire
+ early. The <code class="option">-force</code> overrides this
+ behavior and forces an NTA to persist for its entire
+ lifetime, regardless of whether data could be
+ validated if the NTA were not present.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The view class can be specified with <code class="option">-class</code>.
+ The default is class <strong class="userinput"><code>IN</code></strong>, which is
+ the only class for which DNSSEC is currently supported.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ All of these options can be shortened, i.e., to
+ <code class="option">-l</code>, <code class="option">-r</code>, <code class="option">-d</code>,
+ <code class="option">-f</code>, and <code class="option">-c</code>.
+ </p>

+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Enable or disable query logging. (For backward
+ compatibility, this command can also be used without
+ an argument to toggle query logging on and off.)
+ </p>

+ Query logging can also be enabled
+ by explicitly directing the <span class="command"><strong>queries</strong></span>
+ <span class="command"><strong>category</strong></span> to a
+ <span class="command"><strong>channel</strong></span> in the
+ <span class="command"><strong>logging</strong></span> section of

+ List, edit, or remove the DNSSEC signing state records

+ operations (such as signing or generating
+ NSEC3 chains) is stored in the zone in the form
+ of DNS resource records of type
+ <span class="command"><strong>sig-signing-type</strong></span>.
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -list</strong></span> converts
+ these records into a human-readable form,
+ indicating which keys are currently signing
+ or have finished signing the zone, and which NSEC3
+ chains are being created or removed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -clear</strong></span> can remove
+ a single key (specified in the same format that
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -list</strong></span> uses to
+ display it), or all keys. In either case, only
+ completed keys are removed; any record indicating
+ that a key has not yet finished signing the zone
+ will be retained.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param</strong></span> sets
+ the NSEC3 parameters for a zone. This is the
+ only supported mechanism for using NSEC3 with
+ <span class="command"><strong>inline-signing</strong></span> zones.
+ Parameters are specified in the same format as
+ an NSEC3PARAM resource record: hash algorithm,
+ flags, iterations, and salt, in that order.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Currently, the only defined value for hash algorithm
+ is <code class="literal">1</code>, representing SHA-1.
+ The <code class="option">flags</code> may be set to
+ <code class="literal">0</code> or <code class="literal">1</code>,
+ depending on whether you wish to set the opt-out
+ bit in the NSEC3 chain. <code class="option">iterations</code>
+ defines the number of additional times to apply
+ the algorithm when generating an NSEC3 hash. The
+ <code class="option">salt</code> is a string of data expressed
+ in hexadecimal, a hyphen (`-') if no salt is
+ to be used, or the keyword <code class="literal">auto</code>,
+ which causes <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> to generate a
+ random 64-bit salt.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ So, for example, to create an NSEC3 chain using
+ the SHA-1 hash algorithm, no opt-out flag,
+ 10 iterations, and a salt value of "FFFF", use:
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 0 10 FFFF <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.
+ To set the opt-out flag, 15 iterations, and no
+ salt, use:
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 1 15 - <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param none</strong></span>
+ removes an existing NSEC3 chain and replaces it
+ with NSEC.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -serial value</strong></span> sets
+ the serial number of the zone to value. If the value
+ would cause the serial number to go backwards it will
+ be rejected. The primary use is to set the serial on
+ inline signed zones.
