YADIFA(8)

NAME

YADIFA is an utility for controlling YADIFAD

SYNOPSIS

yadifa [--config|-c configfile] [-s host] [@host ] [-K key-name] [--version|-V] [-h] [--verbose|-v] [-t] command [[-q] zone]

DESCRIPTION
yadifa controls the operation of yadifad.

yadifa communicates with a name server over a TCP connection. The protocol used between client - server is an extension of the DNS protocol. The authentication is done by a mutual key between client and server. This key has the same format as a TSIG. Authentication is not needed, but provides more secure communication if used.

Several algorithms can be used for creating a TSIG:

*   HMAC-MD5

*   HMAC-SHA1

OPTIONS

[--server|-s host] | [ @host ]
