-<a name="id2543433"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
-<p><span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span>
- generates configuration files
- for <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>. It can be used as a
- convenient alternative to writing the
- <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file
- and the corresponding <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span>
- and <span><strong class="command">key</strong></span>
- statements in <code class="filename">named.conf</code> by hand.
- Alternatively, it can be run with the <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span>
- option to set up a <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file and
- avoid the need for a <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file
- and a <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span> statement altogether.

-<a name="id2543478"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
-<div class="variablelist"><dl>
-<dt><span class="term">-a</span></dt>
-<dd>
-<p>
- Do automatic <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> configuration.
- This creates a file <code class="filename">rndc.key</code>
- in <code class="filename">/etc</code> (or whatever
- <code class="varname">sysconfdir</code>
- was specified as when <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> was
- built)
- that is read by both <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>
- and <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> on startup. The
- <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file defines a default
- command channel and authentication key allowing
- <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> to communicate with
- <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> on the local host
- with no further configuration.
- </p>
-<p>
- Running <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen -a</strong></span> allows
- BIND 9 and <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> to be used as
- drop-in
- replacements for BIND 8 and <span><strong class="command">ndc</strong></span>,
- with no changes to the existing BIND 8
- <code class="filename">named.conf</code> file.
- </p>
-<p>
- If a more elaborate configuration than that
- generated by <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen -a</strong></span>
- is required, for example if rndc is to be used remotely,
- you should run <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span> without
- the
- <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option and set up a
- <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> and
- <code class="filename">named.conf</code>
- as directed.
- </p>
-</dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>keysize</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the size of the authentication key in bits.
- Must be between 1 and 512 bits; the default is 128.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>keyfile</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Used with the <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option to specify
- an alternate location for <code class="filename">rndc.key</code>.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
- <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span>.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>keyname</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the key name of the rndc authentication key.
- This must be a valid domain name.
- The default is <code class="constant">rndc-key</code>.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the command channel port where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
- listens for connections from <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>.
- The default is 953.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-r <em class="replaceable"><code>randomfile</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies a source of random data for generating the
- authorization. If the operating
- system does not provide a <code class="filename">/dev/random</code>
- or equivalent device, the default source of randomness
- is keyboard input. <code class="filename">randomdev</code>
- specifies
- the name of a character device or file containing random
- data to be used instead of the default. The special value
- <code class="filename">keyboard</code> indicates that keyboard
- input should be used.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>address</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the IP address where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
- listens for command channel connections from
- <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>. The default is the loopback
- address 127.0.0.1.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-t <em class="replaceable"><code>chrootdir</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Used with the <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option to specify
- a directory where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will run
- chrooted. An additional copy of the <code class="filename">rndc.key</code>
- will be written relative to this directory so that
- it will be found by the chrooted <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-u <em class="replaceable"><code>user</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Used with the <span><strong class="command">-a</strong></span> option to set the
- owner
- of the <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file generated.
- If
- <span><strong class="command">-t</strong></span> is also specified only the file
- in
- the chroot area has its owner changed.
