LIMITATIONS

Note that the conﬁguration ﬁle for

rndc contains shared secrets which are used to send authenticated

control commands to name servers. It should therefore not have general read or write access.

There is currently no way to provide the shared secret for a key_id without using the conﬁguration ﬁle.
