It can be +used as a convenient alternative to writing the \fBrndc.conf\fP file and +the corresponding \fBcontrols\fP and \fBkey\fP statements in \fBnamed.conf\fP +by hand. Alternatively, it can be run with the \fB\-a\fP option to set up a +\fBrndc.key\fP file and avoid the need for a \fBrndc.conf\fP file and a +\fBcontrols\fP statement altogether. +.SH OPTIONS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB\-a\fP +This option sets automatic \fBrndc\fP configuration, which creates a file \fBrndc.key\fP +in \fB/etc\fP (or a different \fBsysconfdir\fP specified when BIND +was built) that is read by both \fBrndc\fP and \fBnamed\fP on startup. +The \fBrndc.key\fP file defines a default command channel and +authentication key allowing \fBrndc\fP to communicate with \fBnamed\fP on +the local host with no further configuration. +.sp +If a more elaborate configuration than that generated by +\fBrndc\-confgen \-a\fP is required, for example if rndc is to be used +remotely, run \fBrndc\-confgen\fP without the \fB\-a\fP option +and set up \fBrndc.conf\fP and \fBnamed.conf\fP as directed. +.TP +.B \fB\-A algorithm\fP +This option 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. +.TP +.B \fB\-b keysize\fP +This option specifies the size of the authentication key in bits. The size must be between +1 and 512 bits; the default is the hash size. +.TP +.B \fB\-c keyfile\fP +This option is used with the \fB\-a\fP option to specify an alternate location for +\fBrndc.key\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB\-h\fP +This option prints a short summary of the options and arguments to +\fBrndc\-confgen\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB\-k keyname\fP +This option specifies the key name of the \fBrndc\fP authentication key. This must be a +valid domain name. The default is \fBrndc\-key\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB\-p port\fP +This option specifies the command channel port where \fBnamed\fP listens for +connections from \fBrndc\fP\&. The default is 953. +.TP +.B \fB\-s address\fP +This option specifies the IP address where \fBnamed\fP listens for command\-channel +connections from \fBrndc\fP\&. The default is the loopback address +127.0.0.1. +.TP +.B \fB\-t chrootdir\fP +This option is used with the \fB\-a\fP option to specify a directory where \fBnamed\fP +runs chrooted. An additional copy of the \fBrndc.key\fP is +written relative to this directory, so that it is found by the +chrooted \fBnamed\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB\-u user\fP +This option is used with the \fB\-a\fP option to set the owner of the generated \fBrndc.key\fP file. +If \fB\-t\fP is also specified, only the file in the chroot +area has its owner changed. +.UNINDENT +.SH EXAMPLES +.sp +To allow \fBrndc\fP to be used with no manual configuration, run: +.sp +\fBrndc\-confgen \-a\fP +.sp +To print a sample \fBrndc.conf\fP file and the corresponding \fBcontrols\fP and +\fBkey\fP statements to be manually inserted into \fBnamed.conf\fP, run: +.sp +\fBrndc\-confgen\fP +.SH SEE ALSO +.sp +\fBrndc(8)\fP, \fBrndc.conf(5)\fP, \fBnamed(8)\fP, BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual. +.SH AUTHOR +Internet Systems Consortium +.SH COPYRIGHT +2023, Internet Systems Consortium +.\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. +. |
