45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber controls the operation of a name
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber server. It supersedes the <span><strong class="command">ndc</strong></span> utility
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber that was provided in old BIND releases. If
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> is invoked with no command line
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber options or arguments, it prints a short summary of the
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber supported commands and the available options and their
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber arguments.

45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber<p><span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber commands authenticated with digital signatures. In the current
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber versions of
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>,
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber the only supported authentication algorithms are HMAC-MD5
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber (for compatibility), HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA224, HMAC-SHA256
b7aa56b85ca96f321ef6aadb60a28f8c16bec44dStéphane Graber (default), HMAC-SHA384 and HMAC-SHA512.
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber They use a shared secret on each end of the connection.
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber This provides TSIG-style authentication for the command
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber request and the name server's response. All commands sent
45794802f13e5db18b5d7acb45169e1f4e8b70b2Stéphane Graber over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the
b7aa56b85ca96f321ef6aadb60a28f8c16bec44dStéphane Graber server.

Currently supported commands are:
</p>
<div class="variablelist"><dl>

<dd>
<p>
Retransfer the given slave zone from the master server.
</p>
<p>
If the zone is configured to use
<span><strong class="command">inline-signing</strong></span>, the signed
version of the zone is discarded; after the
retransfer of the unsigned version is complete, the
signed version will be regenerated with all new
signatures.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>sign <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Fetch all DNSSEC keys for the given zone
from the key directory (see the
<span><strong class="command">key-directory</strong></span> option in
the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual). If they are within
their publication period, merge them into the
zone's DNSKEY RRset. If the DNSKEY RRset
is changed, then the zone is automatically
re-signed with the new key set.
</p>
<p>
This command requires that the
<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option be set
to <code class="literal">allow</code> or
<code class="literal">maintain</code>,
and also requires the zone to be configured to
allow dynamic DNS.
(See "Dynamic Update Policies" in the Administrator
Reference Manual for more details.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>loadkeys <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Fetch all DNSSEC keys for the given zone
from the key directory. If they are within
their publication period, merge them into the
zone's DNSKEY RRset. Unlike <span><strong class="command">rndc
sign</strong></span>, however, the zone is not
immediately re-signed by the new keys, but is
allowed to incrementally re-sign over time.
</p>
<p>
This command requires that the
<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option
be set to <code class="literal">maintain</code>,
and also requires the zone to be configured to
allow dynamic DNS.
(See "Dynamic Update Policies" in the Administrator

<dd><p>
Suspend updates to a dynamic zone. If no zone is
specified, then all zones are suspended. This allows
manual edits to be made to a zone normally updated by
dynamic update. It also causes changes in the
journal file to be synced into the master file.
All dynamic update attempts will be refused while
the zone is frozen.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>thaw [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>]</span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Enable updates to a frozen dynamic zone. If no
zone is specified, then all frozen zones are
enabled. This causes the server to reload the zone
from disk, and re-enables dynamic updates after the
load has completed. After a zone is thawed,
dynamic updates will no longer be refused. If
the zone has changed and the
<span><strong class="command">ixfr-from-differences</strong></span> option is
in use, then the journal file will be updated to
reflect changes in the zone. Otherwise, if the
zone has changed, any existing journal file will be
removed.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>scan</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Scan the list of available network interfaces
for changes, without performing a full
<span><strong class="command">reconfig</strong></span> or waiting for the
<span><strong class="command">interface-interval</strong></span> timer.
</p></dd>

<dd><p>
Sync changes in the journal file for a dynamic zone
to the master file. If the <code class="option">-clean</code> option is
specified, the journal file is also removed. If
no zone is specified, then all zones are synced.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>notify <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Resend NOTIFY messages for the zone.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>reconfig</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Reload the configuration file and load new zones,
but do not reload existing zone files even if they
have changed.
This is faster than a full <span><strong class="command">reload</strong></span> when there
is a large number of zones because it avoids the need
to examine the
modification times of the zones files.
</p></dd>

<dd><p>
Displays the current status of the given zone,
including the master file name and any include
files from which it was loaded, when it was most
recently loaded, the current serial number, the
number of nodes, whether the zone supports
dynamic updates, whether the zone is DNSSEC
signed, whether it uses automatic DNSSEC key
management or inline signing, and the scheduled
refresh or expiry times for the zone.

<dd><p>
When run with the "status" keyword, print the current
status of the managed-keys database for the specified
view, or for all views if none is specified. When run
with the "refresh" keyword, force an immediate refresh
of all the managed-keys in the specified view, or all

If the first argument is "-", then the output is
returned via the <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> response channel
and printed to the standard output.
Otherwise, it is written to the secroots dump file, which

</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets a DNSSEC negative trust anchor (NTA)
for <code class="option">domain</code>, with a lifetime of
<code class="option">duration</code>. The default lifetime is
configured in <code class="filename">named.conf</code> via the
<code class="option">nta-lifetime</code> option, and defaults to
one hour. The lifetime cannot exceed one week.
</p>
<p>
A negative trust anchor selectively disables
DNSSEC validation for zones that are known to be
failing because of misconfiguration rather than
an attack. When data to be validated is
at or below an active NTA (and above any other
configured trust anchors), <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will
abort the DNSSEC validation process and treat the data as
insecure rather than bogus. This continues until the
NTA's lifetime is elapsed.
</p>
<p>
NTAs persist across restarts of the <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> server.
The NTAs for a view are saved in a file called
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>.nta</code>,
where <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> is the
name of the view, or if it contains characters
that are incompatible with use as a file name, a
cryptographic hash generated from the name
of the view.
</p>
<p>
An existing NTA can be removed by using the
<code class="option">-remove</code> option.
</p>
<p>
An NTA's lifetime can be specified with the
<code class="option">-lifetime</code> option. TTL-style
suffixes can be used to specify the lifetime in
seconds, minutes, or hours. If the specified NTA
already exists, its lifetime will be updated to the
new value. Setting <code class="option">lifetime</code> to zero
is equivalent to <code class="option">-remove</code>.
</p>
<p>
If <code class="option">-dump</code> is used, any other arguments
are ignored, and a list of existing NTAs is printed
(note that this may include NTAs that are expired but
have not yet been cleaned up).
</p>
<p>
Normally, <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will periodically
test to see whether data below an NTA can now be
validated (see the <code class="option">nta-recheck</code> option
in the Administrator Reference Manual for details).
If data can be validated, then the NTA is regarded as
no longer necessary, and will be allowed to expire
early. The <code class="option">-force</code> overrides this
behavior and forces an NTA to persist for its entire
lifetime, regardless of whether data could be
validated if the NTA were not present.
</p>
<p>
All of these options can be shortened, i.e., to
<code class="option">-l</code>, <code class="option">-r</code>, <code class="option">-d</code>,
and <code class="option">-f</code>.

<dd>
<p>
Add a zone while the server is running. This
command requires the
<span><strong class="command">allow-new-zones</strong></span> option to be set
to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>. The
<em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> string
specified on the command line is the zone
configuration text that would ordinarily be
placed in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>
<p>
The configuration is saved in a file called
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>.nzf</code>,
where <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> is the
name of the view, or if it contains characters
that are incompatible with use as a file name, a
cryptographic hash generated from the name
of the view.
When <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> is
restarted, the file will be loaded into the view
configuration, so that zones that were added
can persist after a restart.
</p>
<p>
This sample <span><strong class="command">addzone</strong></span> command
would add the zone <code class="literal">example.com</code>
to the default view:
</p>
<p>
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc addzone example.com '{ type master; file "example.com.db"; };'</code></strong>

<dd>
<p>
Modify the configuration of a zone while the server
is running. This command requires the
<span><strong class="command">allow-new-zones</strong></span> option to be
set to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>. As with
<span><strong class="command">addzone</strong></span>, the
<em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> string
specified on the command line is the zone
configuration text that would ordinarily be
placed in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>
<p>
If the zone was originally added via
<span><strong class="command">rndc addzone</strong></span>, the configuration
changes will be recorded permanently and will still be
in effect after the server is restarted or reconfigured.
However, if it was originally configured in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>, then that original
configuration is still in place; when the server is
restarted or reconfigured, the zone will revert to
its original configuration. To make the changes
permanent, it must also be modified in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>
</p>

<dd>
<p>
Delete a zone while the server is running.
</p>
<p>
If the <code class="option">-clean</code> is specified,
the zone's master file (and journal file, if any)
will be deleted along with the zone. Without the
<code class="option">-clean</code> option, zone files must
be cleaned up by hand. (If the zone is of
type "slave" or "stub", the files needing to
be cleaned up will be reported in the output
of the <span><strong class="command">rndc delzone</strong></span> command.)
</p>
<p>
If the zone was originally added via
<span><strong class="command">rndc addzone</strong></span>, then it will be
removed permanently. However, if it was originally
configured in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, then
that original configuration is still in place; when
the server is restarted or reconfigured, the zone will
come back. To remove it permanently, it must also be
removed from <code class="filename">named.conf</code>

<dd>
<p>
List, edit, or remove the DNSSEC signing state records
for the specified zone. The status of ongoing DNSSEC
operations (such as signing or generating
NSEC3 chains) is stored in the zone in the form
of DNS resource records of type
<span><strong class="command">sig-signing-type</strong></span>.
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -list</strong></span> converts
these records into a human-readable form,
indicating which keys are currently signing
or have finished signing the zone, and which NSEC3
chains are being created or removed.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -clear</strong></span> can remove
a single key (specified in the same format that
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -list</strong></span> uses to
display it), or all keys. In either case, only
completed keys are removed; any record indicating
that a key has not yet finished signing the zone
will be retained.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -nsec3param</strong></span> sets
the NSEC3 parameters for a zone. This is the
only supported mechanism for using NSEC3 with
<span><strong class="command">inline-signing</strong></span> zones.
Parameters are specified in the same format as
an NSEC3PARAM resource record: hash algorithm,
flags, iterations, and salt, in that order.
</p>
<p>
Currently, the only defined value for hash algorithm
is <code class="literal">1</code>, representing SHA-1.
The <code class="option">flags</code> may be set to
<code class="literal">0</code> or <code class="literal">1</code>,
depending on whether you wish to set the opt-out
bit in the NSEC3 chain. <code class="option">iterations</code>
defines the number of additional times to apply
the algorithm when generating an NSEC3 hash. The
<code class="option">salt</code> is a string of data expressed
in hexadecimal, a hyphen (`-') if no salt is
to be used, or the keyword <code class="literal">auto</code>,
which causes <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to generate a
random 64-bit salt.
</p>
<p>
So, for example, to create an NSEC3 chain using
the SHA-1 hash algorithm, no opt-out flag,
10 iterations, and a salt value of "FFFF", use:
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -nsec3param 1 0 10 FFFF <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.
To set the opt-out flag, 15 iterations, and no
salt, use:
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -nsec3param 1 1 15 - <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -nsec3param none</strong></span>
removes an existing NSEC3 chain and replaces it
with NSEC.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">rndc signing -serial value</strong></span> sets
the serial number of the zone to value. If the value
would cause the serial number to go backwards it will
be rejected. The primary use is to set the serial on
inline signed zones.
