NAME
dnssec-signzone - DNSSEC zone signing tool SYNOPSIS
dnssec-signzone [-aghptz] [-c class] [-d directory] [-e end-time] [-f output-file] [-i interval] [-k key] [-l domain] [-n nthreads] [-o origin] [-r randomdev] [-s start-time] [-v level] zonefile [key]... DESCRIPTION
The dnssec-signzone utility signs a zone. It generates NSEC and RRSIG records and produces a signed version of the zone. The security sta- tus of delegations from the signed zone (that is, whether the child zones are secure or not) is determined by the presence or absence of a keyset file for each child zone. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Verify all generated signatures. -c class Specify the DNS class of the zone. -d directory Look for keyset files in directory. -e end-time Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records expire. As with start-time, an absolute time is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation. A time relative to the start time is indicated with +N, which is N seconds from the start time. A time relative to the current time is indicated with now+N. If no end-time is specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a default. -f output-file The name of the output file containing the signed zone. The default is to append .signed to the input file name. -g Generate DS records for child zones from keyset files. Existing DS records will be removed. -h Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to dnssec-signzone(). -i interval Specify the cycle interval as an offset from the current time (in seconds). When a previously signed zone is passed as input, records could be resigned. If a SIG record expires after the cycle interval, it is retained. Otherwise, it is con- sidered to be expiring soon and will be replaced. The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference between the signature end and start times. If neither end-time or start-time are specified, dnssec-signzone generates signatures that are valid for 30 days, with a cycle interval of 7.5 days. Any existing SIG records due to expire in less than 7.5 days would be replaced. -k key Treat specified key as a key-signing key, ignoring any key flags. This option can be specified multiple times. -k key Treat specified key as a key-signing key, ignoring any key flags. This option can be specified multiple times. -l domain Generate a DLV set in addition to the key (DNSKEY) and DS sets. The domain is appended to the name of the records. -n nthreads Specifies the number of threads to use. By default, one thread is started for each detected CPU. -o origin Specify the zone origin. If not specified, the name of the zone file is assumed to be the origin. -p Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone. This is faster, but less secure, than using real random data. This option may be useful when signing large zones or when the entropy source is limited. -r randomdev Specify the source of randomness. By default, /dev/random is used. The randomdev argument specifies the name of a charac- ter device or file containing random data to be used instead of the default. The special value keyboard indicates that keyboard input should be used. -s start-time Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records become valid. This can be either an absolute or relative time. An absolute start time is indicated by a number in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500 denotes 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative start time is indicated by +N, which is N seconds from the current time. If no start-time is spec- ified, the current time minus one hour (to allow for clock skew) is used. -t Print statistics at completion. -v level Set the debugging level. -z Ignore KSK flag on key when determining what to sign. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: zonefile The file containing the zone to be signed. key Specify which keys should be used to sign the zone. If no keys are specified, then the zone will be examined for DNSKEY records at the zone apex. If these are found and there are matching private keys in the current directory, these will be used for sign- ing. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Signing a Zone with a DSA Key The following command signs the example.com zone with the DSA key generated in the example in the dnssec-keygen(1M) manual page (Kexam- ple.com.+003+17247). The zone's keys must be in the master file (db.example.com). This invocation looks for keyset files in the current directory, so that DS records can be generated from them (-g). % dnssec-signzone -g -o example.com db.example.com Kexample.com.+003+17247 db.example.com.signed % In the above example, dnssec-signzone creates the file db.example.com.signed. This file should be referenced in a zone statement in a named.conf file. Example 2 Re-signing a Previously Signed Zone The following commands re-sign a previously signed zone with default parameters. The private keys are assumed to be in the current direc- tory. % cp db.example.com.signed db.example.com % dnssec-signzone -o example.com db.example.com db.example.com.signed % In the above example, dnssec-signzone creates the file db.example.com.signed. This file should be referenced in a zone statement in a named.conf file. ATTRIBUTES
