opendkim-genzone(8) System Manager's Manual opendkim-genzone(8)
NAME
opendkim-genzone - DKIM public key zone file generation tool
SYNOPSIS
opendkim-genzone [-C address] [-d domain] [-D] [-E secs] [-N ns[,...]] [-o file] [-r secs] [-R secs] [-S] [-t secs] [-T secs] [-v] [-x
conffile] [dataset]
DESCRIPTION
opendkim-genzone generates a file suitable for use with named(8) to publish a set of public keys.
The dataset parameter should specify a set of data as described in the opendkim(8) man page. It can currently refer to flat files, Sleepy-
cat databases, comma-separated lists, LDAP directories or SQL databases. The dataset may be omitted if a configuration file (via the -x
command line flag) is specified referring to a configuration file that sets a KeyTable parameter, in which case that value will be used.
The database contents should be formatted as described for the KeyTable parameter, described in the opendkim.conf(5) man page.
OPTIONS
-C contact
Uses contact as the contact information to be used when an SOA record is generated (see -S below). If not specified, the userid of
the executing user and the local hostname will be used; if the executing user can't be determined, "hostmaster" will be used.
-d domain
Restricts output to those records for which the domain field is the specified domain.
-D Adds a "._domainkey" suffix to selector names in the zone file.
-E secs
When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the default record expiration time. The default is 604800.
-N nslist
Specifies a comma-separated list of nameservers, which will be output in NS records before the TXT records. The first nameserver in
this list will also be used in the SOA record (if -S is also specified) as the authority hostname.
-o file
Sends output to the named file rather than standard output.
-r secs
When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the zone refresh time. The default is 10800.
-R secs
When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the zone retry time. The default is 1800.
-S Asks for an SOA record to be generated at the top of the output. The content of this output can be controlled using the -E, -r, -R,
-T options. The serial number will be generated based on the current time of day.
-t ttl Puts a TTL (time-to-live) value of ttl on all records output. The units are in seconds.
-T secs
When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the default record TTL time. The default is 86400.
-v Increases the verbosity of debugging output written to standard error.
-x conffile
Names an opendkim.conf(5) file to be read for LDAP-specific parameters when an LDAP dataset is given on the command line. Not
required for other dataset types. The default is /etc/opendkim.conf.
