<para>
<command>tsig-keygen</command> and <command>ddns-confgen</command>
are invocation methods for a utility that generates keys for use
in TSIG signing. The resulting keys can be used, for example,
to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone or for the
<command>rndc</command> command channel.
</para>
<para>
When run as <command>tsig-keygen</command>, a domain name
can be specified on the command line which will be used as
the name of the generated key. If no name is specified,
the default is <constant>tsig-key</constant>.
</para>
<para>
When run as <command>ddns-confgen</command>, the generated
key is accompanied by configuration text and instructions
that can be used with <command>nsupdate</command> and
<command>named</command> when setting up dynamic DNS,
including an example <command>update-policy</command>
statement. (This usage similar to the
<command>rndc-confgen</command> command for setting
up command channel security.)
</para>
<para>
Note that <command>named</command> itself can configure a
local DDNS key for use with <command>nsupdate -l</command>:
it does this when a zone is configured with
<command>update-policy local;</command>.
<command>ddns-confgen</command> is only needed when a
more elaborate configuration is required: for instance,
if <command>nsupdate</command> is to be used from a remote
system.

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>-a <replaceable class="parameter">algorithm</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
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-sha256.
Options are case-insensitive, and the "hmac-" prefix
may be omitted.
</para>

Prints a short summary of options and arguments.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-k <replaceable class="parameter">keyname</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies the key name of the DDNS authentication key.
The default is <constant>ddns-key</constant> when neither
the <option>-s</option> nor <option>-z</option> option is
specified; otherwise, the default
is <constant>ddns-key</constant> as a separate label
followed by the argument of the option, e.g.,
<constant>ddns-key.example.com.</constant>
The key name must have the format of a valid domain name,
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and periods.

<listitem>
<para>
(<command>ddns-confgen</command> only.) Quiet mode: Print
only the key, with no explanatory text or usage examples;
This is essentially identical to <command>tsig-keygen</command>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<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 data to be used
instead of the default. The special value
<filename>keyboard</filename> indicates that keyboard input
should be used.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-s <replaceable class="parameter">name</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
(<command>ddns-confgen</command> only.)
Generate configuration example to allow dynamic updates
of a single hostname. The example <command>named.conf</command>
text shows how to set an update policy for the specified
<replaceable class="parameter">name</replaceable>
using the "name" nametype. The default key name is
ddns-key.<replaceable class="parameter">name</replaceable>.
Note that the "self" nametype cannot be used, since
the name to be updated may differ from the key name.
This option cannot be used with the <option>-z</option> option.
</para>
</listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term>-z <replaceable class="parameter">zone</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
(<command>ddns-confgen</command> only.)
Generate configuration example to allow dynamic updates
of a zone: The example <command>named.conf</command> text
shows how to set an update policy for the specified
<replaceable class="parameter">zone</replaceable>
using the "zonesub" nametype, allowing updates to
all subdomain names within that
<replaceable class="parameter">zone</replaceable>.
This option cannot be used with the <option>-s</option> option.
