268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein generates configuration files
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein for <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>. It can be used as a
ddccd5811feff696ba460dabfb666ce61040f545Andreas Gustafsson convenient alternative to writing the
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file
86b0285d7e65601645db4090d62ee6cb63abad6cAndreas Gustafsson and the corresponding <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span>

268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein option to set up a <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file and
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein avoid the need for a <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file
