All commands sent + over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the + server. + </p> +<p><span><strong class="command">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="refsect1" lang="en"> +<a name="id2603219"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2> +<div class="variablelist"><dl> +<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>.
