+ communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending
+ commands authenticated with digital signatures. In the current
+ versions of
+ <command>rndc</command> and <command>named</command>,
+ 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.

+ Sets a DNSSEC negative trust anchor (NTA)
+ for <option>domain</option>, with a lifetime of
+ <option>duration</option>. The default lifetime is
+ configured in <filename>named.conf</filename> via the
+ <option>nta-lifetime</option> option, and defaults to
+ one hour. The lifetime cannot exceed one week.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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), <command>named</command> will
+ abort the DNSSEC validation process and treat the data as
+ insecure rather than bogus. This continues until the
+ NTA's lifetime is elapsed.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ NTAs persist across restarts of the <command>named</command> server.
+ The NTAs for a view are saved in a file called
+ <filename><replaceable>name</replaceable>.nta</filename>,
+ where <replaceable>name</replaceable> is the
+ name of the view, or if it contains characters
+ that are incompatible with use as a file name, a

+ An existing NTA can be removed by using the

+ <para>
+ An NTA's lifetime can be specified with the
+ <option>-lifetime</option> 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 <option>lifetime</option> to zero
+ is equivalent to <option>-remove</option>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If the <option>-dump</option> 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

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Normally, <command>named</command> will periodically
+ test to see whether data below an NTA can now be
+ validated (see the <option>nta-recheck</option> 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 <option>-force</option> 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.

+ <para>
+ List, edit, or remove the DNSSEC signing state records
+ for the specified zone. The status of ongoing DNSSEC
+ operations (such as signing or generating
+ NSEC3 chains) is stored in the zone in the form
+ of DNS resource records of type
+ <command>sig-signing-type</command>.
+ <command>rndc signing -list</command> 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.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -clear</command> can remove
+ a single key (specified in the same format that
+ <command>rndc signing -list</command> 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.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param</command> sets
+ the NSEC3 parameters for a zone. This is the
+ only supported mechanism for using NSEC3 with
+ <command>inline-signing</command> zones.
+ Parameters are specified in the same format as
+ an NSEC3PARAM resource record: hash algorithm,
+ flags, iterations, and salt, in that order.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Currently, the only defined value for hash algorithm
+ is <literal>1</literal>, representing SHA-1.
+ The <option>flags</option> may be set to
+ <literal>0</literal> or <literal>1</literal>,
+ depending on whether you wish to set the opt-out
+ bit in the NSEC3 chain. <option>iterations</option>
+ defines the number of additional times to apply
+ the algorithm when generating an NSEC3 hash. The
+ <option>salt</option> is a string of data expressed
+ in hexadecimal, a hyphen (`-') if no salt is
+ to be used, or the keyword <literal>auto</literal>,
+ which causes <command>named</command> to generate a
+ random 64-bit salt.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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:
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 0 10 FFFF <replaceable>zone</replaceable></command>.
+ To set the opt-out flag, 15 iterations, and no
+ salt, use:
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 1 15 - <replaceable>zone</replaceable></command>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param none</command>
+ removes an existing NSEC3 chain and replaces it
+ with NSEC.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -serial value</command> 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.
