<a name="id-1.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<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>
</div>
<div class="refsection">
<a name="id-1.8"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>source-address</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em class="replaceable"><code>source-address</code></em>
as the source address for the connection to the server.
Multiple instances are permitted to allow setting of both
the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>config-file</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em class="replaceable"><code>config-file</code></em>
as the configuration file instead of the default,
<code class="filename">/etc/rndc.conf</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>key-file</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em class="replaceable"><code>key-file</code></em>
as the key file instead of the default,
<code class="filename">/etc/rndc.key</code>. The key in
<code class="filename">/etc/rndc.key</code> will be used to
authenticate
commands sent to the server if the <em class="replaceable"><code>config-file</code></em>
does not exist.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>server</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p><em class="replaceable"><code>server</code></em> is
the name or address of the server which matches a
server statement in the configuration file for
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>. If no server is supplied on the
command line, the host named by the default-server clause
in the options statement of the <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
configuration file will be used.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Send commands to TCP port
<em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em>
instead
of BIND 9's default control channel port, 953.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-q</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Quiet mode: Message text returned by the server
will not be printed except when there is an error.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-r</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Instructs <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> to print the result code
returned by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> after executing the
requested command (e.g., ISC_R_SUCCESS, ISC_R_FAILURE, etc).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-V</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Enable verbose logging.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-y <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use the key <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>
from the configuration file.
<em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>
must be
known by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> with the same algorithm and secret string
in order for control message validation to succeed.
If no <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>
is specified, <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> will first look
for a key clause in the server statement of the server
being used, or if no server statement is present for that
host, then the default-key clause of the options statement.
Note that the configuration file contains shared secrets
which are used to send authenticated control commands
to name servers. It should therefore not have general read
or write access.

<div class="refsection">
<a name="id-1.9"></a><h2>COMMANDS</h2>
<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>.

</p>
<p>
This command requires that the

<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
changes will be recorded permanently and will still be
in effect after the server is restarted or reconfigured.
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 revert to
its original configuration. To make the changes
permanent, it must also be modified in

<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>.

<span class="command"><strong>category</strong></span> to a

<p>
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
<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.
</p>
