The remote name daemon control (rndc) program allows the system administrators
to control the operations of a name server.
The following lists the new commands added in rndc:
named-checkzone -v Print the version number of
named-checkzone and exit.
nsupdate key {name}
[secret]
Specify that all updates need to be
TSIG signed using the keyname
keysecret pair. The key command
overrides any key specified on the
command line via -y or -k.
nsupdate local
{address}
[port]
Send all dynamic update requests
using the local address. If no local
statement is provided, nsupdate
will send updates using an address
and port chosen by the system.
port can also be used to set a
specific port from where requests
are sent. If port number is not
specified, the system will assign
one.
nsupdate send Send the current message. This is
equivalent to entering a blank line.
nsupdate show Display the current message,
containing all the pre-requisites
and updates specified since the last
send operation.
rndc -k keyname This option is used to specify the
key name of the rndc
authentication key. This must be a
