-<a name="id2543352"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
-<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is the configuration file
- for <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>, the BIND 9 name server control
- utility. This file has a similar structure and syntax to
- <code class="filename">named.conf</code>. Statements are enclosed
- in braces and terminated with a semi-colon. Clauses in
- the statements are also semi-colon terminated. The usual
- comment styles are supported:
- </p>
-<p>
- C style: /* */
- </p>
-<p>
- C++ style: // to end of line
- </p>
-<p>
- Unix style: # to end of line
- </p>
-<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is much simpler than
- <code class="filename">named.conf</code>. The file uses three
- statements: an options statement, a server statement
- and a key statement.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">options</code> statement contains five clauses.
- The <code class="option">default-server</code> clause is followed by the
- name or address of a name server. This host will be used when
- no name server is given as an argument to
- <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>. The <code class="option">default-key</code>
- clause is followed by the name of a key which is identified by
- a <code class="option">key</code> statement. If no
- <code class="option">keyid</code> is provided on the rndc command line,
- and no <code class="option">key</code> clause is found in a matching
- <code class="option">server</code> statement, this default key will be
- used to authenticate the server's commands and responses. The
- <code class="option">default-port</code> clause is followed by the port
- to connect to on the remote name server. If no
- <code class="option">port</code> option is provided on the rndc command
- line, and no <code class="option">port</code> clause is found in a
- matching <code class="option">server</code> statement, this default port
- will be used to connect.
- The <code class="option">default-source-address</code> and
- <code class="option">default-source-address-v6</code> clauses which
- can be used to set the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses
- respectively.
- </p>
-<p>
- After the <code class="option">server</code> keyword, the server
- statement includes a string which is the hostname or address
- for a name server. The statement has three possible clauses:
- <code class="option">key</code>, <code class="option">port</code> and
- <code class="option">addresses</code>. The key name must match the
- name of a key statement in the file. The port number
- specifies the port to connect to. If an <code class="option">addresses</code>
- clause is supplied these addresses will be used instead of
- the server name. Each address can take an optional port.
- If an <code class="option">source-address</code> or <code class="option">source-address-v6</code>
- of supplied then these will be used to specify the IPv4 and IPv6
- source addresses respectively.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="option">key</code> statement begins with an identifying
- string, the name of the key. The statement has two clauses.
- <code class="option">algorithm</code> identifies the encryption algorithm
- for <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> to use; currently only HMAC-MD5
- is
- supported. This is followed by a secret clause which contains
- the base-64 encoding of the algorithm's encryption key. The
- base-64 string is enclosed in double quotes.
- </p>
-<p>
- There are two common ways to generate the base-64 string for the
- secret. The BIND 9 program <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span>
- can
- be used to generate a random key, or the
- <span><strong class="command">mmencode</strong></span> program, also known as
- <span><strong class="command">mimencode</strong></span>, can be used to generate a
- base-64
- string from known input. <span><strong class="command">mmencode</strong></span> does
- not
- ship with BIND 9 but is available on many systems. See the
- EXAMPLE section for sample command lines for each.

-<pre class="programlisting">
- options {
- default-server localhost;
- default-key samplekey;
- };
-</pre>
-<p>
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
- server localhost {
- key samplekey;
- };
-</pre>
-<p>
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
- server testserver {
- key testkey;
- addresses { localhost port 5353; };
- };
-</pre>
-<p>
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
- key samplekey {
- algorithm hmac-md5;
- secret "6FMfj43Osz4lyb24OIe2iGEz9lf1llJO+lz";
- };
-</pre>
-<p>
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
- key testkey {
- algorithm hmac-md5;
- secret "R3HI8P6BKw9ZwXwN3VZKuQ==";
- };
- </pre>
-<p>
- </p>
-<p>
- In the above example, <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> will by
- default use
- the server at localhost (127.0.0.1) and the key called samplekey.
- Commands to the localhost server will use the samplekey key, which
- must also be defined in the server's configuration file with the
- same name and secret. The key statement indicates that samplekey
- uses the HMAC-MD5 algorithm and its secret clause contains the
- base-64 encoding of the HMAC-MD5 secret enclosed in double quotes.
- </p>
-<p>
- If <span><strong class="command">rndc -s testserver</strong></span> is used then <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> will
- connect to server on localhost port 5353 using the key testkey.
- </p>
-<p>
- To generate a random secret with <span><strong class="command">rndc-confgen</strong></span>:
- </p>
-<p><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen</code></strong>
- </p>
-<p>
- A complete <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file, including
- the
- randomly generated key, will be written to the standard
- output. Commented-out <code class="option">key</code> and
- <code class="option">controls</code> statements for
- <code class="filename">named.conf</code> are also printed.
- </p>
-<p>
- To generate a base-64 secret with <span><strong class="command">mmencode</strong></span>:
- </p>
-<p><strong class="userinput"><code>echo "known plaintext for a secret" | mmencode</code></strong>
- </p>
-</div>
-<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
-<a name="id2543592"></a><h2>NAME SERVER CONFIGURATION</h2>
-<p>
- The name server must be configured to accept rndc connections and
- to recognize the key specified in the <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code>
- file, using the controls statement in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
- See the sections on the <code class="option">controls</code> statement in the
- BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual for details.
