Without any arguments, -.Ic named -will read the default configuration file -.Pa /etc/named.conf , -read any initial data, and listen for queries. A -.Ar config_file -argument given at the end of the command line will override any -.Ar config_file -specified by using the -.Dq Fl b -or -.Dq Fl c -flags. -.Pp -.Sy NOTE : -Several of -.Nm named Ns 's -options, and much more of its behaviour, can be controlled in the configuration -file. Please refer to the configuration file guide included with this -.Sy BIND -distribution for further information. -.Pp -Options are: -.Bl -tag -width Fl -.It Fl d Ar debuglevel -Print debugging information. -The -.Ar debuglevel -is a number determines the level of messages printed. If negative, -.Ar debuglevel -is set to -.Dq 1 . -.Pp -.Sy NOTE : -The new debugging framework is considerably more sophisticated than it -was in older versions of -.Nm @INDOT@named . -The configuration file's -.Dq Li logging -statement allows for multiple, distinct levels of debugging for each of -a large set of categories of events (such as queries, transfers in or out, -etc.). Please refer to the configuration file guide included with this -.Sy BIND -distribution for further information about these extensive new capabilities. -.It Fl p Ar port# -Use the specified remote port number; this is the port number to which -.Nm @INDOT@named -will send queries. The default value is the standard port number, i.e., -the port number returned by -.Xr getservbyname @LIB_NETWORK_EXT@ -for service -.Dq Li domain . -.Pp -.Sy NOTE : -Previously, the syntax -.Dq Fl p Ar port# Ns Op Ar \&/localport# -was supported; the first port was that used when contacting -.Em remote -servers, and the second one was the service port bound by the -.Em local -instance of -.Nm @INDOT_U@named . -The current usage is equivalent to the old usage without the -.Ar localport# -specified; this functionality can be specified with the -.Dq Li listen-on -clause of the configuration file's -.Dq Li options -statement. -.It Xo Fl Po -.Cm b Ns \&| Ns Cm c -.Pc Ar config_file -.Xc -Use an alternate -.Ar config_file ; -this argument is overridden by any -.Ar config_file -which is specified at the end of the command line. -The default value is -.Pa /etc/named.conf . -.It Fl f -Run this process in the foreground; don't -.Xr fork @SYSCALL_EXT@ -and daemonize. (The default is to daemonize.) -.It Fl q -Trace all incoming queries if -.Nm @INDOT_U@named -has been compiled with -.Li QRYLOG -defined. -.Pp -.Sy NOTE : -This option is deprecated in favor of the -.Dq Li queries -.Em logging category -of the configuration file's -.Dq Li logging -statement; for more information, please refer to the configuration file guide -included with this distribution of -.Sy BIND . -.It Fl r -Turns recursion off in the server. Answers can come only from local -(primary or secondary) zones. This can be used on root servers. -The default is to use recursion. -.Pp -.Sy NOTE : -This option can be overridden by and is deprecated in favor of the -.Dq Li recursion -clause of the configuration file's -.Dq Li options -statement. -.It Fl v -Report the version and exit. -.It Fl u Ar user_name -Specifies the user the server should run as after it initializes. The value -specified may be either a username or a numeric user id. If the -.Dq Fl g -flag is not specified, then the group id used will be the primary group of -the user specified (initgroups() is called, so all of the user's groups will -be available to the server). -.Pp -.It Fl g Ar group_name -Specifies the group the server should run as after it initializes. The value -specified may be either a groupname or a numeric group id. -.Pp -.It Fl t Ar directory -Specifies the directory the server should chroot() into as soon as it is -finished processing command line arguments. -.Pp -.It Fl w Ar directory -Sets the working directory of the server. The -.Dq Li directory -clause of the configuration file's -.Dq Li options -statement overrides any value specified on the command line. -The default working directory is the current directory -.Pq Dq \&. . -.El -.Pp -Any additional argument is taken as the name of the configuration file, for -compatibility with older implementations; as noted above, this argument -overrides any -.Ar config_file -specified by the use of the -.Dq Fl b -or -.Dq Fl c -flags. If no further argument is given, then the default configuration file -is used -.Pq Pa /etc/named.conf . -.Ss Master File Format -The master file consists of control information and a list of resource -records for objects in the zone of the forms: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -$INCLUDE <filename> <opt_domain> -$ORIGIN <domain> -$TTL <ttl> -<domain> <opt_ttl> <opt_class> <type> <resource_record_data> -.Ed -.Pp -where: -.Bl -tag -width "opt_domain " -.It Ar domain -is -.Dq Li .\& -for root, -.Dq Li @ -for the current origin, or a standard domain name. If -.Ar domain -is a standard domain name that does -.Em not -end with -.Dq Li \&. , -the current origin is appended to the domain. Domain names ending with -.Dq Li .\& -are unmodified. -.It Ar opt_domain -This field is used to define an origin for the data in an included file. -It is equivalent to placing an -.Li $ORIGIN -statement before the first line of the included file. The field is optional. -Neither the -.Ar opt_domain -field nor -.Li $ORIGIN -statements in the included file modify the current origin for this file. -.It Ar ttl -A integer number that sets the default time-to-live for future records without -an explicit ttl. -.It Ar opt_ttl -An optional integer number for the time-to-live field. -If not set the ttl is taken from the last $TTL statement. -If no $TTL statement has occurred then the SOA minimum value is used and a -warning is generated. -.It Ar opt_class -The object address type; currently only one type is supported, -.Dv IN , -for objects connected to the DARPA Internet. -.It Ar type -This field contains one of the following tokens; the data expected in the -.Ar resource_record_data -field is in parentheses: -.Bl -tag -width "HINFO " -offset indent -.It Dv A -a host address (dotted-quad IP address) -.It Dv NS -an authoritative name server (domain) -.It Dv MX -a mail exchanger (domain), preceded by a preference value (0..32767), -with lower numeric values representing higher logical preferences. -.It Dv CNAME -the canonical name for an alias (domain) -.It Dv SOA -marks the start of a zone of authority (domain of originating host, -domain address of maintainer, a serial number and the following -parameters in seconds: refresh, retry, expire and minimum TTL (see RFC 883 -and RFC 2308)). -.It Dv NULL -a null resource record (no format or data) -.It Dv RP -a Responsible Person for some domain name (mailbox, TXT-referral) -.It Dv PTR -a domain name pointer (domain) -.It Dv HINFO -host information (cpu_type OS_type) -.El -.El -.Pp -Resource records normally end at the end of a line, -but may be continued across lines between opening and closing parentheses. -Comments are introduced by semicolons and continue to the end of the line. -.Pp -.Sy NOTE : -There are other resource record types not shown here. You should -consult the -.Sy BIND -Operations Guide -.Pq Dq BOG -for the complete -list. Some resource record types may have been standardized in newer RFC's -but not yet implemented in this version of -.Sy BIND . -.Ss SOA Record Format -Each master zone file should begin with an SOA record for the zone. -An example SOA record is as follows: -.Bd -literal -@ IN SOA ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU. rwh.ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU. ( - 1989020501 ; serial - 10800 ; refresh - 3600 ; retry - 3600000 ; expire - 86400 ) ; minimum -.Ed -.Pp -The SOA specifies a serial number, which should be incremented each time the -master file is changed. Note that the serial number can be given as a -dotted number, but this is a -.Em very -unwise thing to do since the -translation to normal integers is via concatenation rather than -multiplication and addition. You can spell out the year, month, day of -month, and 0..99 version number and still fit inside the unsigned 32-bit -size of this field. (It's true that we will have to rethink this strategy in -the year 4294, but we're not worried about it.) -.Pp -Secondary servers -check the serial number at intervals specified by the refresh time in -seconds; if the serial number changes, a zone transfer will be done to load -the new data. If a master server cannot be contacted when a refresh is due, -the retry time specifies the interval at which refreshes should be attempted. -If a master server cannot be contacted within the interval given by the -expire time, all data from the zone is discarded by secondary servers. The -minimum value is the cache time-to-live for negative answers (RFC 2308). -.Sh NOTES -The boot file directives -.Dq Li domain -and -.Dq Li suffixes -have been -obsoleted by a more useful, resolver-based implementation of -suffixing for partially-qualified domain names. The prior mechanisms -could fail under a number of situations, especially when then local -nameserver did not have complete information. -.Pp -The following signals have the specified effect when sent to the -server process using the -.Xr kill @CMD_EXT@ -command: -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width "SIGWINCH" -.It Dv SIGHUP -Causes server to read -.Pa named.conf -and reload the database. If the server -is built with the -.Li FORCED_RELOAD -compile-time option, then -.Dv SIGHUP -will -also cause the server to check the serial number on all secondary zones; -normally, the serial numbers are only checked at the SOA-specified intervals. -.It Dv SIGINT -Dumps the current data base and cache to -.Dq Pa /var/tmp/named_dump.db -or the value of -.Dv _PATH_DUMPFILE . -.It Dv SIGILL -Dumps statistics data into -.Pa named.stats -if the server is compiled with -.Li -DSTATS . -Statistics data is appended to the file. -.It Dv SIGSYS -Dumps the profiling data in -.Pa /var/tmp -if the server is compiled with profiling (server forks, chdirs and exits). -.It Dv SIGTERM -Saves any modified dynamic zones to the file system, and shuts down the server. -.It Dv SIGUSR1 -Turns on debugging; each -.Dv SIGUSR1 -increments debug level. -.Po -.Dv SIGEMT -on older systems without -.Dv SIGUSR1 . -.Pc -.It Dv SIGUSR2 -Turns off debugging completely. -.Po -.Dv SIGFPE -on older systems without -.Dv SIGUSR2 . -.Pc -.It Dv SIGWINCH -Toggles logging of all incoming queries via -.Xr syslog @LIB_C_EXT@ -(requires server to have been built with the -.Li QRYLOG -option). -.El -.Sh FILES -.Bl -tag -width "/var/tmp/named_dump.db (_PATH_DUMPFILE) " -compact -.It Pa /etc/named.conf -default name server configuration file -.It Pa /var/run/named.pid Pq Dv _PATH_PIDFILE -the process id -.It Pa /var/tmp/named_dump.db Pq Dv _PATH_DUMPFILE -dump of the name server database -.It Pa /var/tmp/named.run Pq file: Dv _PATH_DEBUG -debug output -.It Pa /var/tmp/named.stats Pq file: Dv _PATH_STATS -nameserver statistics data -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr named.conf @FORMAT_EXT@ , -.Xr gethostbyname @LIB_NETWORK_EXT@ , -.Xr hostname @DESC_EXT@ , -.Xr kill @CMD_EXT@ , -.Xr resolver @LIB_NETWORK_EXT@ , -.Xr resolver @FORMAT_EXT@ , -.Xr signal @LIB_C_EXT@ , -RFC 882, RFC 883, RFC 973, RFC 974, RFC 1033, RFC 1034, RFC 1035, RFC 1123, -RFC 2308 -.Dq Name Server Operations Guide for Sy BIND |
