This file has a similar structure and syntax to + <filename>named.conf</filename>. 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: + </para> + <para> + C style: /* */ + </para> + <para> + C++ style: // to end of line + </para> + <para> + Unix style: # to end of line + </para> + <para><filename>rndc.conf</filename> is much simpler than + <filename>named.conf</filename>. The file uses three + statements: an options statement, a server statement + and a key statement. + </para> + <para> + The <option>options</option> statement contains five clauses. + The <option>default-server</option> 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 + <command>rndc</command>. The <option>default-key</option> + clause is followed by the name of a key which is identified by + a <option>key</option> statement. If no + <option>keyid</option> is provided on the rndc command line, + and no <option>key</option> clause is found in a matching + <option>server</option> statement, this default key will be + used to authenticate the server's commands and responses. The + <option>default-port</option> clause is followed by the port + to connect to on the remote name server. If no + <option>port</option> option is provided on the rndc command + line, and no <option>port</option> clause is found in a + matching <option>server</option> statement, this default port + will be used to connect. + The <option>default-source-address</option> and + <option>default-source-address-v6</option> clauses which + can be used to set the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses + respectively. + </para> + <para> + After the <option>server</option> keyword, the server + statement includes a string which is the hostname or address + for a name server. The statement has three possible clauses: + <option>key</option>, <option>port</option> and + <option>addresses</option>. 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 <option>addresses</option> + clause is supplied these addresses will be used instead of + the server name. Each address can take an optional port. + If an <option>source-address</option> or <option>source-address-v6</option> + of supplied then these will be used to specify the IPv4 and IPv6 + source addresses respectively. + </para> + <para> + The <option>key</option> statement begins with an identifying + string, the name of the key. The statement has two clauses. + <option>algorithm</option> identifies the encryption algorithm + for <command>rndc</command> 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. + </para> + <para> + There are two common ways to generate the base-64 string for the + secret. The BIND 9 program <command>rndc-confgen</command> + can + be used to generate a random key, or the + <command>mmencode</command> program, also known as + <command>mimencode</command>, can be used to generate a + base-64 + string from known input. <command>mmencode</command> does + not + ship with BIND 9 but is available on many systems. See the + EXAMPLE section for sample command lines for each. + </para> + </refsect1> + + <refsect1> + <title>EXAMPLE</title> + + <para><programlisting> + options { + default-server localhost; + default-key samplekey; + }; +</programlisting> + </para> + <para><programlisting> + server localhost { + key samplekey; + }; +</programlisting> + </para> + <para><programlisting> + server testserver { + key testkey; + addresses { localhost port 5353; }; + }; +</programlisting> + </para> + <para><programlisting> + key samplekey { + algorithm hmac-md5; + secret "6FMfj43Osz4lyb24OIe2iGEz9lf1llJO+lz"; + }; +</programlisting> + </para> + <para><programlisting> + key testkey { + algorithm hmac-md5; + secret "R3HI8P6BKw9ZwXwN3VZKuQ=="; + }; + </programlisting> + </para> + + <para> + In the above example, <command>rndc</command> 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. + </para> + <para> + If <command>rndc -s testserver</command> is used then <command>rndc</command> will + connect to server on localhost port 5353 using the key testkey. + </para> + <para> + To generate a random secret with <command>rndc-confgen</command>: + </para> + <para><userinput>rndc-confgen</userinput> + </para> + <para> + A complete <filename>rndc.conf</filename> file, including + the + randomly generated key, will be written to the standard + output.
