rndc
This example indicates that the name server is a master server for the zone
example.com and the name server can update the zone data file db.example upon
receiving the update requests from the system configured with IP address
10.53.0.24.
The allow-update clause specifies which hosts are allowed to submit dynamic DNS
updates for master zones. The default is to deny updates from all hosts.
For more information about the nsupdate utility, see the man page and nsupdate on
page 2-12. (See Table 2-1, OSS Commands to Access man Pages, on page 2-3 for
information about accessing the man pages in OSS.)
rndc
The Remote Name Demon Control (rndc) utility enables you to control the operation
of a name server.
The rndc utility has the following syntax:
-c config file
Specifies an alternate configuration file. The default configuration file is
/etc/rndc.conf.
-s server
Specifies the server whose operation needs to be controlled.
-p port
Instructs rndc to send commands to the port number specified port on the
system running the name server instead of to BIND’s default control-channel port
number 953.
-y key
Identifies the key ID from the configuration file.
Note. In this manual and in the OSS documentation demon is used instead of daemon.
