NAME
rndc - name server control utility
SYNOPSIS
config-file] keyfile] port] server] key_id] [command]
DESCRIPTION
The command allows the system administrator to control the operation of a name server. If is invoked without any command line options or
operands, it prints a short summary of the supported commands and the available options.
communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending commands authenticated with digital signatures. In the current versions
of the only supported encryption algorithm is HMAC-MD5, which uses 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.
reads its configuration file (the default is to determine how to contact the name server and to decide what algorithm and keys it should
use.
Options
Specify an alternate configuration file.
The default configuration file is
Use keyfile as the key file instead of the default, The key in the key file is used to authenticate commands sent to the server if
the configuration file does not exist.
Send commands to TCP port number
port on the system running the name server. The BIND 9 default control channel port is 953.
Specify the server on which this command is run.
server is the name or address of a server that matches a statement in the configuration file. The default is the host named by
the clause in the statement of the configuration file.
Provide debugging information.
This option is primarily of interest to the BIND 9 developers.
Use the key_id from the configuration file. key_id must also be known to with the same and string for control message validation to suc-
ceed. If the option is not specified, first looks for a clause in the statement of the configuration file. If there is no
statement for that host, then it uses the clause of the statement of the configuration file.
