YADIFA(8)

NAME

YADIFA is an utility for controlling YADIFAD

SYNOPSIS

yadifa [-s host] [@host] [-V] [-h] command

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

[--config|-c configfile]

[--server|-s host]

[--help|-h]

[-q zone]
